Chapter 1 My name is Linda Harris. I was born in… well to be honest I don’t remember much of my life.

I woke up one day in this white room, with one small bed, small desk, and no clothes. Just this stupid white hospital clothes. I sigh. I’m surrounded with kids my own age, but they are crazy. They say I’m not crazy that I got a nerve break down. What they are really saying is: You’re the craziest and you can’t know about it yet, because we are afraid of you. I sigh again. I really hate this place. Every time I ask for my parents they just have this horrible look on their faces, but just for a moment before saying. “Linda you’ll know about them when you are ready.” “But that’s why am asking you. I hate this…” I shake my head really angry. “I hate not knowing who am I, what horrible thing I did to be here, and why on visit day nobody shows up for me.” She had that look. God how much I hate that look. “Linda.” She starts. I look at her really angry. “Linda you are not… you have to remember for you self, because you block them out your self…” She breath really loud not knowing what to say. “Can we get to therapy? Please!” I gave up for today. “Sure go ahead with therapy doctor.” “Did you eat today?” She knew how picky I could be with food, and sometimes I would go on strike. Telling them either they let me go or I starve my self. “Yes.” “Did you like it?” I put my arms across my chest. “No, but if I don’t eat you guys would find a painful way to put in on my stomach.” She laugh. What a bitch! “I know you might think that we are out to get you or make you suffer, but…” I glare at her, and for a moment I saw the most beautiful guy I ever… well I haven’t see here that’s for sure. Now that’s not true either because Marc is really cute. Marc is the only person in this horrible place that can get

me talking. Anyways back at my flash back. The guy was smiling at someone. He had beautiful green eyes, beautiful black hair that felt to his face, he had a white t-shirt that show how muscular he were… “You remember something Linda?” I came back with the psychologist. “Hum?” “You had a flash back?” “What makes you think that?” She look at me skeptically. “The smile that is still on your face. You were about to kick my but and then you smile. Was it about your parents?” I frown. “HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOST TO KNOW?” I lost my cool. “ I don’t know how they looked like. You won’t tell me.” Again the stupid look. I sigh. Then another flash back. I was being hold against my will by… a police? A parent? Family member? I don’t know, but in front of me were two body one of a woman and the other of a man the had a hole on their heart? I had a stake with bloody hands, but I was not sorry I just wanted to burn the body’s, but they took them away and say they were going to have a small funeral and buried them. I was crying and telling them not to… “Let me go! You don’t understand they have to be burn!” I was looking at them with hate. Somebody slap me. “You just kill our parents! And you want to burn them without a Christian ceremony?” “They are evil! They are…” “WHAT! Linda?” The guy that was holding me prick me with a needle and everything went blank. “Linda are you ok? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Miss Lewis came to my side and touch my cheek. “ What did you remember?” “Did I kill my parents?” I whisper. She sigh. It was obvious she was waiting for this day.

“Yes.” “Can I know why?” She eye me for a second. “Your parents gave your brother a ticket to France as a birthday gift. You were 17 back then. You call your brother telling him that your parents turn into vampires and they send him away so they could turn you. He ask why not turn the both of you and you said…” She looked at me worried. “What did I say?” “You told your brother that they knew your brother could kill them easy before they turn him, but not you, because you were only a girl and you were 17, so there was no way you could stop them. And after you were like them you were going to thank them.” “Why would I believe that crap?” “Well, your brother ask the same exact question, and you told him they bite your neck and snack on you.” I wince. “Did he actually saw a bite?” “No, but he did find you fighting with your parents. He try to hold you down, but you grab a bat and knock him down.” I wince at that to. “You broke the bat in half and use it as a stake and I really don’t know how. You kill both of your parents.” I started to cry. “Oh my God! That’s why Anthony don’t come to see me. He hates me!” “How you know your brother name?” Great! She went back to be all psychology on me. “It came to me.” “That’s so good! It’s a.” “Can I go to my room please!” “Sure. The section it’s over.” She smile at me, but I just ran towards my room.

“Hey! Your out early.” “Not today Marc.” But of course he ignore me and grab me by the arm. I sigh. “Can’t you just say hi to a friend?” “Hi.” But he were still grabbing my arm. “Why are you crying?” “I found out a little bit about me and my parents.” “That should not be a reason to cry.” He frown. “What did you found out?” “Ok. You win.” He smile and let go of my arm. I went to my room and he follow me. I sat on the bed and he sat down besides me. “I kill them.” “What?” He gasp. “Do you know why and how?” “Yes, I though they were vampires and I put a stake on their hearts.” He look at me, but not in the you are crazy way, but on the you were right way. Then he just smile. “Were did you find the stake?” “That’s the crazy part. She said I broke a bat in half and use one of the half against them.” He open his eyes wide. “Whoa! Girl you are strong.” I laugh at that. “Hey! I’m sorry about your parents.” I nod, not able to do anything else. I looked at my watch. “I know. I’m spending more time that the necessary with you.” I smile. “But why do you like to be alone?” I sighs. “I just feel…” I shook my head not wanting to repeat my self. I had told him before that if I am here. I might not be a good person.

“Can you answer me one more question?” I look at him and nod. “Do you think I’m a horrible person?” “No of course not. I don’t even understand why you are here. You seen like such a nice boy.” He smile at me. “Why can’t you tell me why are you here?” “Would you accept to be my friend?” I bite my lips. “That’s why I though. I only open up with my friends.” He wink and got out of my room. I went to therapy again. “Good morning Linda.” I role my eyes at her. “Maybe they are good to you, but for me is just horrible.” She smile at me. “Did you like your breakfast?” I glare at her. “You know I didn’t eat breakfast today. There’s nothing in this fucking place that I do or I don’t that you don’t know.” She frown. “What I told you about language?” “Then don’t provoke me.” She Singh. “Why haven’t you eat?” “I didn’t feel like, but don’t worry I’ll eat lunch. So please don’t put the food in my stomach.” “Will you promise me you’ll eat.” I role my eyes and elevated a hand. “I Linda Harris solemnly promise that I will eat lunch today.” She smile. “Linda you have been here a year. Why haven’t you become friend with the kids here?” I glare at her. “You want me to be friends with a bunch of freaks?” “They are not freaks. They are kids your age with similar problems like yours.” I put a face shock face. “Oh my God! So there are assassin here?” She frown at me.

“You consider yourself an assassin?” “What do you call a person that kills cold blooded?” “Those are assassin. Linda what you had was not murder. If that was true you would have been in jail instead of here. What you had is call a mental break down.” “Sure! You are the doctor and the expert.” I close my eyes and saw the same green eyes. “Linda?” I open them. “Did you had another flash back?” I shook my head. “Did I had a boyfriend before coming here?” She gave me the look. Shit. “No Linda. Why you ask?” “No reason. I just though it would of be nice to have a least somebody that care.” “Your brother care.” “Sure. That’s why he is always here.” I said sarcastically. “He started to call and ask about your progress.” “He had?” I ask shock he would care. “How do you feel now that you know you kill your parent’s?” I cry. “I feel like I lost my mind like. Like I should be here. Like I’m crazy.” She smile. “You are not crazy Linda. At the contrary I think you are getting well.” She smile. I stood up. “Can I go?” She look at the clock. “Sure.” I ran towards my room and throw my self at the bed and cry. I fall asleep and started to dream about the beautiful green eye guy. I was running towards the forest until I saw him. Once he saw me he smile. I was going to

turn and run towards the way I came. He smile and open his mouth to tell me something. “Linda?” I sat up. “Yes?” “Lunch time.” I sigh. I went to the lunch tables grab my plate and sat by my self. “Mind if I sit with you?” “As a matter of fact I do.” But Marc sat on my table anyways. “You really are a hard to get away from.” “Nah, only you. But you know why.” I sigh and started to eat my food. He didn’t talk, we just eat in silence. * * *

Today I didn’t had a section thank goodness. Marc was the most of the morning with the psychology. He even miss breakfast. I was walking toward my room until he came to my side and grab my arm. I glare at him. “Let go of me. You know there’s no touching aloud.” But he just smile. “If I let you go. Would you promise not to run? At least until I tell you my great news.” I sigh. “Fine.” “I got release!” “What?” “Yep I was talking yesterday with miss Lewis and she say I was cure and I was going to be release today.” He smile. I hug him. “I’m so happy for you. Congratulations!” He smile was bigger.

“Don’t worry I will visit you.” I look at him and smile. “You know I got my no friend policy. That’s why I’m always alone.” “I know, but you also know how much I like you. Ever since you came here.” He look down and I felt guilty. I bite my lips. “You know love is not for me.” “I know. You have told me million of times before. Are you afraid you get a boyfriend here and then you find out you had one when you get out?” I started to think about the beautiful green eyes guy, but I shock my head angrily. Because I been here a year and not one visit. No body love me, and I didn’t deserve love I was a monster a horrible, horrible monster. “No if I would of had or have a boyfriend he would of visit by now. I just don’t believe in love. Ok?” He hug me tighter. “Can I please visit you?” “No. No friends. Ok?” He had a sad face. “But just so you know if I was not dangerous or horrible I would of definitely give you a chance to be my boyfriend.” I gave him a kiss on his cheek. “I hope you find a girl who truly love you and… one you deserve. Take care of you self.” He hug me. “You are great. And just so you know you are not the horrible monster you think you are. You’ll be surprise…” He stop. “Take care Linda, and who knows once you find out you really…” He stop again. “I have a feeling we’ll be together.” He wink. “And then I would remind you, your promise.” I smile doubting it. “Right! Ok. I need to go to my room.” He let me go. I throw my self at my bed. I kill my parent’s thinking they were vampire. I sigh. Vampires! Come on Linda think. Think. After a moment I was on a forest. The beautiful green eye guy was waiting for me in a tree. He had a stake on his hands. I took a step back scare. I was running way from something or someone or maybe someone’s… And I saw him. I was backing away. “Are you sure you want to go back to the vampires without a weapon?” Those vampires are my parent’s your asshole! “Throw that weapon away.”

“Sorry no can’t do.” He said smiling. I took another step back. “You know they’ll be here in like two or maybe one minutes. I’m not going to hurt you. I want to help you. Here.” He throw me the stake, but of course I was not Buffy and it fell on my feet’s. I look at it and then at him. He laugh and touch something on his back. And I knew he had another one. Oh no! I have to get away or he will kill them. To save me? “Hum thanks.” I took the stake and run towards the street of my house. “Honey wait up!” They both yell. I hold the stake in front of me to defend my self. They stop walking towards me. They had a scare, but worried face at the same time, but then they had an evil smile. “You are not a slayer honey, we will take that away from your hands and turn you.” I ran towards the house and I heard them yell at me while laughing. “Well give you a head start, since its only fair.” I was on the kitchen table crying. “It only going to hurt a little bit.” “But I will not see the daylight again.” I cry. They both looked at each other and burst into laugher. “We been vampire for over two month now.” “You can be in the sunlight?” “Yes, those are lies our people invented to.” She smile. “I don’t know we need to learn our story.” “Why you send Anthony away?” They had a sad smile on their faces. “Because your brother has been taking martial arts and he could fight us better than you and probably kill us. We turn immortals to live forever not to die after two month of being… you know, so maybe when you turn, us three can take him down and turn him or” She didn’t say anything. “You would eat your own son or kill him?” They both shrug. “Then why not eat me or kill me?” They looked at each other, but shrug again. “We will if we have to. Again we didn’t turn immortals just to die.”

“Then-Then.” I startled. “Then why not abandon us and go live your immortal life’s?” “Oh honey we would, but we love you so much we wanted to give you the choice of becoming immortal.” “Then why if I say no. You kill me?” “Well who created us told us, that if we told you and you say no. We would have to kill you because that’s how vampire slayers are born.” “Mom. Dad. Please!” “Sorry honey it is what it is.” I elevate the stake, but they smile at me, but then put a scare face. “Honey what’s wrong? Why do you have that?” I looked at them confuse, but my dad just wink. And Anthony burst thro the door. “Linda let go of the weapon.” My mom and dad were looking at Anthony like the minute all his attention were on me they were going to turn him. I gulp. “Tony you don’t get it they are.” “Yeah you told me over the phone.” They were getting closing towards Anthony. Without thinking I ran towards my parent with the stake on my hand, but my brother took it and push me towards a wall. I was bleeding and my mom and dad became hungry and stupid Anthony didn’t notice. I put one hand on the back of my head and look at it. Yep I was bleeding. My brother got out of the house and left me with the vampires. They were walking towards me. I got up, and look around. “We will give you not head start this time, sorry.” Not a honey or compassion, they truly look like vampires. At least they were so hungry they were going to kill me. I just hope after me they are not hungry anymore and Anthony walk out of here alive. I close my eyes and got even closer to the wall. My hand grab something. A bat? I hold it, but I was so weak I was not going to use it. “Linda.” I open my eyes and Anthony was looking at me scare. “I’m sorry I hurt you. I didn’t meant to. Let go of the bat and let me help you.” I close

my eyes until I felt Anthony hands on my wrist. But I just swing the bat and hit him on the head. He collapse. “Thank you for making it easy for us.” They walk towards me almost crouching. I broke the bat on my legs, and damn it. It hurts. And I stake my mom first and then my dad. The green eye guy came running into the house. A sigh of relieve was on his face. “I was looking for you. I never though they were your parents I’m sorry.” “That’s ok.” “We have to burn them.” “Why?” I ask shock. “They might look like you innocent dead parent’s, but they only way to kill them is burning them.” But before turning to go to the forest to do it, we heard police siren. “Go! They will put you on jail.” He look like he was not going to move. “Please!” He ran towards the back side but stop for a moment. “By the way my name is Adrian Morris.” And disappear. I smile, and at that moment the police enter and of course saw me smiling. Anthony started to wake. Knock. Knock. “Linda can I come in?” “Of course miss Lewis.” I gave her a smile. I knew why she was here, she was checking for a break down girl. “How are you holding up?” “To be honest. I feel like I should stay here the rest of my life.” LIER! I know I was lying, but since I got my memory back I wanted to find Adrian, and to be honest I didn‘t like the idea of being here without Marc. “I kill my parents thinking they were vampires, and I could of kill my brother with the hit I gave him.”

She smile. She was buying it. Of course I did mean my brother part, but my parent’s were either going to kill us or turn us. “You are well Linda.” “You are not letting me go. Are you?” She gave me a warm smile. “Yes. You are leaving tomorrow.” I try really hard not to burst into happiness. I just look at her serious. “The only reason we keep you here is to see how you react when you got your memory back, since you acknowledge you error is obvious your cure.” “I don’t got anywhere to go.” That was true. “Your brother let you your parents house. He is living in France.” I got sad. “Ok Thank you! For all your help” I hug her. I didn’t have to pack, because I didn’t have clothes here. The only clothes I have is the one I came with and that was the one I was getting out with. “Miss Lewis.” “Yes, honey?” “How am I going to my house. I know my brother is not going to pick me up, and I know my family must hate me.” She gave me a tender look. Knowing that what I was saying was true. My parents really didn’t look like vampire, the only different about them is that they got prettier. “You have your parents car. It’s been here all this time, just waiting for you to get better.” “Oh.” “Are you ready to start you new life?” “No, but I see I got no choice.” I should of reconsider Marc offer. At least I would have a friend to help me. And he was right. I’m not thathorrible. Did he knew about vampires? Was he a vampire slayer caught in the act? I grab the keys miss Lewis gave me and went to the parking lot looking for my parents car. I got in and drive toward my old house. To start a new life.

Chapter 2 Once in the house I went strait to the forest. I was just walking. Can you be any more stupid? You met the guy on that day and you think he is going to wait for you here for a year? I sigh. “Looking for me?” I turn startled. “As a matter of fact I was.” “Why?” He said smiling. That was a good question. “I got a few questions.” “Do you?” “Yes, I was in this place for a year thinking I did something horrible and I was crazy. I just got my memories back, and I remember you.” His smile grew wider. “Why you forgot about what happened?”

“The doctor said I block it out.” He just nod. I walk towards him, but he took a step back. “Now you’re the one afraid of me?” He smile. “On that night I… well I didn’t know you were the daughter of vampires.” “What are you trying to say?” “You might be helping them after all. I could be your first meal.” “Can’t you tell if I’m a vampire?” “Only if you smile.” “Why only if I smile?” “That’s when you see the fangs.” I smile at him. “Do I have fans?” He smile. “No. You’re ok.” I took a step towards him, but he took another one. “Still… you’re parents are still alive. They might of convince you.” I studied him. “That’s why you are here are you?” He put the most innocent look I ever seen before. “You are going to use me to kill them.” He was serious not expecting me to know. He nod. I told you! I couldn’t hide my devastated face and he misinterpreted. Thank God. He took a step forward and I took one back. I turn towards the house, but he was faster and grab me by the arm. “You don’t understand. Vampire are evil creatures. They will kill you without thinking you are they daughter.” And you will use me without thinking of breaking my heart. “I know. I’m not protecting them.” “I don’t believe you. How do I know you just don’t went to hide until you though I gave up?”

“What?” He took me by surprise that I did something stupid. “That’s why you didn’t went to the institute?” He had a confuse face. “Who put you there if your parents were unconscious or supposedly dead?” “My brother. They guy you saw knocked down on the floor.” “I though he was a vampire too.” “No. He is the one who though I was crazy and I kill my parents out of a delusion.” He let go of my arm. “I’m sorry. I know what you must of think.” “NO. You got not idea, because the first day I got into that place I though you were going to help me escape like I help you, but when I saw nobody was coming to at least visit I knew I was alone. And I blocked all out.” I look at him. “I’m sorry I would of…” He shake his head. “Well I don’t know if I would be able to get you out, but at least I would of visit. I though you were planning to get me. We had a slayer in one of those places maybe you meet him his name is.” “Marc?” He smile. “Yes. So you met him. He was there for two years.” “I never saw you visit him.” He was serious. “None of us could.” “Then why would you bother and visit me?” He didn’t say anything. “Well?” “Do you know where are your parents?” He went all business like on me. “No, but I got a feeling they might be waiting for me.” “Why you think that?”

“They told me either I turn like them or die. I choose die.” He was serious. “Then you wont enter there alone.” “Yes I will.” He grab my arm. “No you won’t.” I try to get out of his grasp, but of course he was stronger. “How do I know you won’t go there to turn?” I glare at him. “That would be my choice don’t you think?” “I don’t know if you forgot, but I’m a vampire slayer.” “I didn’t forgot.” I keep glaring at him. He glare back. “I guess I should just kill you now.” He had a scary face. I got scare. “You would kill a human?” “You won’t be in days.” He glare and pull me closer to him. “Fine kill me, but you are not going inside of my house.” He was hurting my arm. “Ouch! Can you at least do it not painfully?” He let my arm lose a little bit. I sight. That was better. He was looking at me for a long moment. He sigh and let me go. “Fine. I would never kill a human, but I will hunt you down.” I bite my lips trying not to laugh. “I’m just checking on them. If I try to kill them once what make you think I wont do it again. If I stake them while bleeding from my head. What makes you think I will fail now?” “That was a fluke. I don’t think it will happened twice, plus they got a year and two month born I think they are kind of stronger now.” I frown. But something keep telling me not to let him in. “Ok. How about this? I go in and if you hear me scream you come in?” He eye me for a second. “Common you know that will be fast.” He laugh. “I guess I’ll give you that.” I went to the house and open the door. I enter carefully.

“Hey sis.” I had to put a hand in my mouth, before screaming. “Anthony? What are you doing here?” “Can’t a brother visit his little sister?” I got a little suspicious. “Not if that big brother hasn’t visit her for a year after putting her in a place for crazy people.” He smile, and I gasp. “Yeah. Mom and Dad caught up with me and explain to me that you weren’t crazy.” Calm down if you scream Adrian will burst into the door and he will die. I breath. “I told them I don’t want that life.” “Oh honey why not?” My mom came down the stairs holding hands with my dad. I gulp, and looked at the door. “We won’t let you get there this time.” She said serious. Scream he is a vampire slayer. He can save you. “Please! Give me at lest a couple of days to think about it.” “You had a year.” My brother said glaring. I gulp. “I thought the hole year that I was crazy. That doesn‘t count.” “NO!” They all said at the same time. I couldn’t help it but started to scream. Instead of just Adrian he came with a group of arm men with stakes. My family hiss, but ran away. I got on my knees in the floor. Adrian came to my side while the others ran to follow the vampire. My vampire family. “Linda is ok. They won’t hurt you.” He hug me and I just let him. Am I so horrible for not wanting them to caught up with them and kill them? “Is ok. Shh. It’s ok. Calm down Linda.” I sigh. “I though for sure I was going to die.” “I told you to let me go with you.” “They wouldn’t of hesitated. They would of kill you.” “They could of try.”

“They were three. You wouldn’t have a chance.” “Three?” “Yeah, they turn my brother while I was on the clinic.” He frown. “I’m sorry we couldn’t help him.” “It’s ok.” I stood up. “You better get going.” “I’m not leaving you alone.” “So what? Your staying here?” “Yes. Unless you want to come with me?” “No thank you this is my house, plus you’ll get tire soon enough.” He laugh. “Sure. Like this is my first time staying awake all nigh.” I laugh. “Ok I need a shower. My bedroom… well mine now is up stair the third one on the left. I’ll be out fast.” I went to the bathroom with my change already. I took a long and hot shower. I know I told him I was going to take a quick one, but I was kind of in shock. After I was clean and ready I went to my room. He had sheets on the floor and he was sitting down on it. “You can stay on the bed. You won’t sleep anyways and there’s no need for you to be uncomfortable and you can protect me better.” “Are you sure?” “Of course.” He got on the bed and I got on the other side. I took two pills with a glass of milk. “What’s that?” “Sleeping pills.” I lay down. He move in a way that I rested my head in his chest. I know it was too much, but I would fall asleep soon. “Why?” I yawn.

“I just want to go to sleep really fast.” I put one hand in his chest. He took my hand. I yawn again and I was falling asleep. “I understand. Would you like to be a vampire slayer?” “Hum?” I was already almost out. “I.” I was too sleepless. “I like you Linda.” And I drift out. “Linda? Are you up?” I yawn. “I am now.” “Do you want to eat something?” I felt bad for him, he was up all nigh protecting me while I sleep. So I though of something sneaky. “Um are your friends coming over?” “Not until the nigh. Why?” “A… Can I ask you for a favor?” “Sure. Anything.” That surprise me. He didn’t have to do me any favors. “Do you swear you’ll do it?” “I swear.” He obviously have no idea. “I want you to take a snap.” “What? NO!” “You swore.” He sigh. “And I want you to take one of my sleeping pills so I know for sure.” “I would be out for 8 hours.” “No. Only for five. I promise.” He sigh. Clearly not happy. “But not here. I’ll be on the living room cooking while you sleep and I don’t know if they caught up with my family so I want to watch you and protect you.” He smile and took the pills while we both went to the living room. I sat down and he

lay down putting his head on my legs. “You know we act like we are old friends.” He smile while drifting to sleep. I just stood there waiting until he was sound asleep, he fall asleep more quickly because the lack of sleep. Once I knew for sure he was really asleep I replace my legs with a pillow and put a sheet on him. I went to the kitchen and started to cook. I finish cooking in two hours I cook a lot of food. Adrian would be really hungry when he woke up. Once the food was done I turn it off and went to Adrian’s side and put his head on my legs again and watch some TV. * * *

“Aww! Its that your boyfriend?” I stiffened. “Anthony.” I stood up carefully not wanting to wake him up. I crouch besides him. He puts his hands in the air. To show me he came in peace. “Just to let you know sis that your friends…” He smile evilly. “Well some of them serve us as dinner and others are really hurt. And that they agree to give you three days.” He wink. “Well be back for your answer.” He got out. I look at peaceful Adrian sleeping. He woke up and yawn. “How long was I sleep?” I looked at my watch. “Nine hours.” He stretch. “Wow! And nothing happened while I was asleep?” “Does it looked like something happened?” “I guess not.” “Are you hungry?” “Starving.” I smile. We went to table. “Sit down. I’ll get your food.” He started to protest, but I gave him a look. After I pre heated the food we sat down and eat.

“Are you ok?” I just nodded. How am I going to tell him that some of his people are dead because of me, and some of them might be in the hospital with blood transfusion. “Because you look like you just saw a vampire.” He laugh, but I just look at him. “Oh my God! You saw a vampire.” I bite my lips. Thankfully he was done with his food. “Do you want more?” “No. Tell me what happened?” “Ok. My brother came to visit me.” He wince. Apparently he didn’t like it when I still call them family. “And he.” I look at him. “Did he hurt you?” He came to my side and started to check for bite marks, and then him. I laugh at that. “Like I would let my brother near you.” He glare. I got serious again. I sigh. “He came to.” I looked at him, but he was getting impatience. “To tell me they are still alive and your group weren’t so lucky.” I wince. He was worried. I mean really worried. “Some die and some are in a hospital… well I hope, because he said they lose some blood.” He was worried not knowing what to do. “You have to go.” “But what about you?” “Look Adrian. I’ll be fine.” “No you wont.” “Yes I will. I don’t think they want to kill me. They would of come back after… you know and kill us both.” He snorted. “If those three could with a group. What do you think they would of do with just the two of us?” “They were apprentice.” “Why… Never mind. You have to go and help them. My brother said I had three days, so they won’t be here and you got… well you really don’t have to come here at all. I can talk to my family, and your family needs you.” “More than you know.” But that was the only thing he said and step out.

It was night and I was so worried I spring clean the house. I mean I really wanted to go with Adrian, but I was not part of his family, I was not a slayer. (Neither I wanted to be one.) I mean, I know I try to kill my parents, but they might still be good. If they truly wanted to kill me they could of done it by now. I know they kill novices, but they still train to kill vampire. I was not. I was still cleaning when Adrian burst into the door. He scare me. He came towards me and push me towards the wall. Ok that was a surprise after this mor… “Were are the vampires?” “My family?” He gave me a murderous glare. “You never plan to kill them were you? You are protecting them. That’s why they didn’t kill the slayer.” “N-n-n. No!” He grab me by the neck. Really hard. If I might add. “My brother is dead. And I will kill your family.” I couldn’t talk he was suffocating me. I was starting to lose consciousness. “Well?” But I black out. I don’t know how long I was out, but I woke up with Adrian breathing on me. “Oh my God! Linda! Thank God! I though I kill you.” He was crying. I was still in shock that he would hurt me. I touch my neck and it was sore. I look at him. “It just when I burst into the door… I was not going to confront you like that… I knew you were helping me, but when I saw you cleaning so careless I though you set a trap. I don’t know what they told you to convince you to kill slayers but they are evil creature.” “I’m not helping them. I can’t stop calling them family. They were family. I feel like they are still there hidden.” He glare at me. I sigh. “I’m sorry. They kill my brother… They not only drain him bloodless.” I saw a tear fall from his eye. “They decapitated him and let the body out with a message on his chest saying: Who’s next?” I wince.

“I’m so, so, sorry! But I swear I don’t know were they are. I’m not working with them and I’m not planning to turn with them. I just can’t accept they are really dead if I still see them.” My neck started to hurt, so I put my hand in my neck. He wince. “I’m.” I look at him. I can’t say I blame him, but still he disappointed me. “Linda!” He sigh. I cry. Why am I crying? Why does it hurt that he hurt me more that the neck? He hug me, but I push him away. “Join us.” “What?” “Become a slayer.” How this turn out from me helping my vampire family to slaying them. “I’m sorry I can’t.” “Why not?” He look at me with the suspicion again. And I saw he was testing me. I wince again, and he misinterpreted. I sigh. “I don’t like your world or the vampires. And after…” I touch my neck. He wince. “I want you out of my life. I just need to know how long when I stake a vampire do I got to burn the body.” “Why?” “Because when I kill my family I want to show you. That way you won’t be any where near me and leave alone.” He wince and was sad. I roll my eyes. “Linda I.” “Save it! GO!” I pointed at the door. He left. I ran toward my room and throw my self at the bed. And cry my self to sleep.

Chapter 3 Somebody woke me up. I open my eyes and saw Adrian with a red a puffy face. “Adrian?” I clear my eyes. I sigh. “Adrian I told.” He put one finger on my lips. I roll my eyes but keep quiet. “I’m sorry.” “You said that.” “Well I am.” “Why?” “Why?” “Yeah, Why? Why are you sorry? Because you hurt me and I was not on the vampire side or just because you hut me?” “Because I hurt you.” Don’t do it Linda. He didn’t kill you that time, but he might now. I don’t care. I don’t care anymore. “Well that’s a relive.” He sigh content. “Because I decided my family deserve to have another chance.” He look at me with shock. “What?” “Yeah! When they come to see my decision. I will ask them to let me live until certain age. That I don’t want to be 18 forever. I want to be at least 21.” I smile trying to look evil. “You would turn into a monster?” I raise an eyebrow. “Does it matter?” “No while you’re still breathing.” “So you’ll personally hunt me down?” I got closer to him. Kind of flirting without even realizing it. Well the only reason I notice is because Adrian’s face. “Well?”

“Yes.” He said looking in my eyes. “Well why not get over it now? While I’m vulnerable.” He grab me by the arms and my heart started to race. Maybe he was taking it seriously. “Maybe I should take the advantage now.” He pull me closer and put one hand in my neck. And the other one in my waist. Ok this might hurt, so I close my eyes. Not wanting to see how he break me in half. But he kiss me and pull me down. I close my lips firmly. He ignore that and put the hand that was on my waist on my belly and was moving it around. I open my eyes. “So before you kill me you want to have fun first?” He strained out. “Sorry.” He stood up. “Sorry. Your distracted me from my mission.” He look at me and smile. I frown. “I’m not going to hurt you again Linda. Not while your human. I’m sorry I almost kill you. It just that somebody that don’t know you. Say that you might wrote the message your self. I kind of believe him and I saw you cleaning without a care of what happen.” He shook his head like trying to get the memory away. I smile evil again trying to push his bottom. He gulp. “I wont hurt you Linda.” Don’t go there Linda please. I know you got a dead wish, but don’t go there. I ignore my inner voice. “What if I did write the message?” I wink at him and he was at my side in a flash and grab my neck. I smile. He tightened a little bit, but not bad enough to hurt me. He close his eyes and sigh, and let me go. “You wont make me hurt you.” “Why not? What is so different now than yesterday?” He glare at me. And turn around jump out of bed and went down stairs. I ran behind him. I grab his arm. “What is so different?” He shake his arm. But I hold him even more. He could of shake it off, but he didn’t. “Answer the damn question.” He sigh. “You can’t make me.” I turn him so he face me. “You can’t make me.”

“What are you scare of?” I shake my head with laugh and let him go. He was the one that grab both of my arms. I smile. “Yes?” “I already told you.” “Hum?” “Never mind.” I then remember when he was watching me while I slept, that before I drifted off he said he like me? I bite my lips. I kiss him. Just to find out how much. And he kiss me back pulling me closer to him. “Linda.” He whisper. I pull back. “Was that why?” He kiss me again, but my lips were seal… He lick my lips and I gave in. “Yes. That why.” “But you will kill me if I turn?” He look at me. “I don’t know.” I smile. “Why are you smiling?” “How can we like each other? We really don’t know about… you know each other.” He smile. “I was thinking the same thing. Here am I a vampire slayer… crazy about a girl who is the daughter and sister of a vampire clan.” I shrug. “I didn’t choose that you know.” He shrug too. “I know.” He sigh. “But you are thinking in joining them.” “I am not.” He raise his eyebrow. “I am not. I just don’t want to kill them. Is that so bad?” “Yes.” He was serious. I roll my eyes. “Fine then go.” He had a pain in his face. “I will not ever nor will I let you kill my family.” He glare at me.

“NO! They are not your family anymore. They are monster. And they will kill you without even thinking.” “Not they won’t.” He sigh in frustration. “They could of have kill me by now, but they haven’t. They say they were going to kill Anthony, but couldn’t either.” “They kill your brother Linda. They are not alive anymore you need to stop being stupid and…” He didn’t finish. “Stupid!” I yell. I was outrage. “Yes stupid.” “I believe I told you to get out!” I pointed to the door and he grab my arm. “Let go!” “Linda they will kill you if you don’t join them. Because that’s how some slayer are born.” I try to get out of his grab, but he was stronger. “I’ll never become a…” I pause. “I never will go against them.” “You did once.” I look away. “They took me by surprise. But I don’t.” I sigh. “Look Adrian let go of me, and I want you away from me and my family.” He study me for a second. “I’m sorry Linda.” He took me by surprise, so I just look at him. “You think that I’m as bad as the vampire because I attack you and if I did that, when your parent’s just talked to you… I’m… way worse.” Damn he is good. I look away. “Because you told me you were going to kill them.” He lower his head. “I’m so sorry. I sigh. “I were…” I bite my lips. “I will if it comes to that.” “So I did change your mind?” I blush. “Yes.” He blush too. “Sorry. I really lost it, but I promise it won’t happen again.”

I smile. “I know, because I’m serious. I don’t want you near me.” Pain cross his face. “Why?” “Isn’t obvious?” I raise an eyebrow, but he just shook his head. “You’re a vampire slayer I’m a vampire daughter.” I laugh, but he didn’t. “Look.” I sigh. “You are afraid I kill your parents?” I smile, he said parents and not vampire. That’s a start. “Maybe.” I shrug. He smile. “Ok. I promise not to kill them.” I raise an eyebrow. “Why are you doing this?” He looked away. “I like the kiss.” I frown. I like the kiss too, but I will not fall for you. “Get over it.” I cross my arms. He grab my arms and pull me closer. “If you try to kiss me again. You’ll regret it.” He smile, but try to kiss me. I levitated my right leg and hit his groin. He bend out and felt on the floor. He was moaning in pain. I got worried but I erased it from my face before he saw it. “Now get out!” “You need help with that scum?” I turn and saw my family smiling at me in the door. Oh no! I crouch beneath him in a he’s mind kind of way. See I know a little bit from vampires. “Oh honey you can’t have a vampire slayer as a mascot. Sorry.” Poor Adrian was in such pain that he could not move. “He is mine.” I hiss. They smile. “So that means you’ll join us?” “That means… I don’t want to be 18 forever I want to be 21.” They couldn’t hide they satisfaction.

“Deal.” They just stare at us. I looked at Adrian worried he was still holding his groin. I bite my lips. Upps. I clear my throat. “What?” I open my eyes wide. “Ooh. Sorry we’ll let you alone. See you in 3 years.” I smile. “So you won’t bother me for three years?” “You got it.” Good. “But remember honey, no matter where you go… We will find you.” And they step out. “Are you ok?” “Noo!” He moan in pain. I wince. “I’m sorry, but I did warn you.” He moan again. I help him up. “Can I lay down in your bed?” I frown. “Why?” “I really don’t feel good. I think you hit too hard.” I wince. “Ok.” I help him up stair and in my room. His arm was around my neck while limping and when I was going to put him on the bed carefully. He turn me over and I fell in the bed him on top of me. “Get off.” He smile crookedly. “I will kick you.” He pin my hands on the bed. My heart started racing. Stupid heart. I told you not him!He bend down and I turn my head. He couldn’t move my face without letting go of my hands. But some how he manage. Then kiss me, but I bite his lips. He moan. He actually moan of pleasure. “Why are you forcing me?” I mumble between his lips and he step away just enough to answer. “Because I know you like me. I’m trying to get a reaction out of you.” “I don’t like you.” “Oh no?” He stood away from me and I sat down crossing my hands over my chest. “Then why you kiss me?” I try to hide a smile. “I wanted to know how much you like me.” He kiss me, but I didn’t open my mouth. No matter what I’m not falling for this guy. He put one hand on my belly, but took it away quickly. I push him away. He smile.

“Fine. I’ll leave you alone.” He turn around and went towards the stairs. I wince. I was tempted to grab his arm, but I hug my self to fight temptation. “Although” He turn around looking at me, but once he saw me, he burst into laugh. Oh shit! He just saw that I was fighting. I frown. “Can we at least be friends?” “Sure.” I smile too quickly. “Where do you want to go?” I smile wider. “Here, but I want to buy some stuff.” “Sure.” I made him buy some liquor even thou he’s been fighting the hole way. “Linda I don’t think you should drink.” I sigh. He’s been saying the same thing over and over again. When we rented the movie, when we got the liquor(a lot of it I might add) and when we buy some popcorn and food. “My parent’s never let me try, never let me go with my friends to party. They always told me to wait until 21.” I frown. “Maybe they are right. And you shouldn’t drink this much for a first time.” “I’m not.” I lie. I had a lot to handle and I wanted to let my self forget and just be happy for once. “Plus you’ll be here.” I smile. “You can protect me.” “I guess.” “Then is settle.” We got to the house. Watch the movie while eating pizza and popcorn and drinking. By the time the movie was over I was drunk. I look at Adrian with lust eyes. “What?” I jump on him and kiss him. He push me back. “No Linda.” And I could here disapproval in his voice. I frown. “But I want you.” I try again, but he push me away again. “Yeah that’s because you are drunk.” He frown at me. “But I want you.” “You can wait until tomorrow.”

“No.” I try again, but since he was caught off guard I could kiss him. He kiss me back letting his passion guide him. I started to rub his chest. “Linda.” He caught my hand and push me. I got mad and push him down in the sofa, got on top of him and kiss him harder. “Linda!” He didn’t try to push me afraid to hurt me. So I took advantage of that and put my hands down his stomach unbutton his pants and rub his groin. That did it. He moan and kiss me back. He carry me while kissing me and went up stair. We kissed all the way up the steps, and only his grip on the banister and around my waist kept us moving forward instead of tumbling to the hardwood floor. We paused on the landing at the top of the stairs, where he pinned my hips to the wall with his body while he pulled my shirt off, tossing it to the floor. His motions were hurried, frantic, and I understood the reason. If he hesitated he would try to reason with me again, he would have to think, and he no longer wanted to think. He wanted me, to lose ourselves in something all consuming, something powerful enough to block out reality, and then regret it that will probably bring in the morning. We stumbled to the bedroom, Adrian breath was hot and fast, when we got to the bedroom we were impatient by then. He picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, rounding my spine so I could reach his ear with my tongue. He moaned as he carried me into my room, barely pausing to kick the door shut before setting me gently on the floor. The hardwood was cool against my bare feet; it acted as an anchor, tethering my body to the ground as my head floated far above my shoulders. I closed my eyes, concentrating on the feel of his hands running all over me, ridding me of the encumbrance of my shorts, the restriction of my bra. Dropping to his knees, Adrian wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my stomach as he clung to me, trembling silently. I gasped to feel him lift my breast, bringing as much as he could into his mouth. He pulled gently on my nipple, his tongue hot against my skin, his mouth demanding. I moaned, burying my hands in his hair, my head thrown back and my eyes closed. His hands trailed down from my waist, easing my panties over my hips. The thin cloth hit the floor seconds before he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed. I heard his zipper go down and the soft brush of denim against skin as his jeans followed suit. Then his face appeared over mine, and his weight dropped onto me, heavy, and warm, and so very real. He propped himself on his elbows and I stared up into his eyes. Yellow specks sparkled in the deep brown of his irises, glistening through a layer of unshed tears.

“I’m scared,” I whispered, wrapping my legs around him. This was my first time. And I was giving my self to a stranger. “Me, too.” I felt how hard his heart beat and knew it was the truth. He moved against me, then inside me. I moan out of pain first so he stop and look at my face, the slowly move. I exhaled, letting go of more anguish than I’d known I held. I closed my eyes, and my own tears spilled over, running down my cheeks to dampen my hair and my sheets. Then he said my name, and suddenly there was no room for pain, no room for fear. Adrian took up all the room there was, in my head, in my heart, and inside me. He filled me, not just with himself, but with a pleasure I never before experimented a pleasure I would trade anything to hold it as long as I can. My fingers skimmed the lines of his arms, up over his shoulders, then down his back. When I got to his hips, I added pressure, urging him on as I rose to meet him. Adrian matched my pace, apparently eager to spend his pent-up energy without breaking anything. But every time I wince he slow down or stop to let me accustom to the pain, but it turn to pleasure really quick. Even better, I knew I couldn’t hurt him. When I finally remembered to breathe again, our combined scents overwhelmed me. I was suffocating on the very aroma of hunger and need—an exhilarating blend of his, mine, and ours—and I never wanted another breath of fresh air. The smell of sex itself was almost enough to bring me, screaming, to the edge. Already panting, I put a hand on Adrian’s chest, begging him with my eyes to wait. I wasn’t ready. Not yet. I needed much, much more. He smiled, a trace of satisfaction glinting in his still-damp eyes. He altered our rhythm, watching my face as he slowed, moving deeper with each stroke. Adrian knew what I wanted more than I did. Each time our bodies met, sparks tingled through me, racing across my nerve endings in violent jolts of pleasure bordering on pain. My fingers curled at his hips. My nails sliced through his skin. Hissing, he arched his back, but his smile never faltered. The sharp tang of blood filled my nostrils, adding one final layer to the bouquet of scents forming the foundation of my lust. I held him tight, smearing wet streaks across his spine. I arced into him, desperate for one more touch, one last powerful thrust that would bring us both peace, however temporary. Adrian knew what I needed. He tangled one hand in my hair and pulled my head back, opening my mouth. He thrust into me, hard. His lips covered mine, swallowing my scream of release and claiming it for himself. That hurt, but it was a pleasures pain. He pounded against me over and over, fighting for control. My nails carved fresh gouges into his shoulders, and that was all he could take. He shuddered against me, moaning into my mouth. And finally he collapsed on top of me, his cheek against mine, his lips brushing my ear. “I love you, Linda,” he whispered,

still inside me. And then, so quiet I could barely hear he said it again. “I do love you.”

Chapter 4 I woke up really sore, and worse of all I had a headache too. I move my head to one side and saw Adrian. I smile. I use the excuse of alcohol to sleep… no I’m not that kind of girl…but still… On my side Adrian move and yawn. He look at me and then at him and I saw shock on his face. He sat up really quick and cover his face with both of his hands. I bite my lips. Please don’t tell me I just lost my virginity with him and he doesn’t even remember. “I’m so sorry Linda.” I frown.

“For what?” Pain was on his face. “For getting drunk and losing my self.” I frown harder. “I’m not.” “But you were a virgin.” I flush, but the frown some what was still in place. “And?” He turn away from me. Obviously in shame. Did he regretted taking my virginity, because he didn’t wanted a relationship. “I hurt you, because I was drunk.” I smile and relaxed. If that was it. I could handle it. “You didn’t hurt me.” He frown at me. “Linda.” He turn his face away. I grab his face to make him watch me and stupidly I wince when he turn. “See I hurt you. I was to rough on you when it was your first time.” I smile. “I wanted you to be rough.” “Oh yeah?” “Yes.” I kiss him and he kiss me back. He lower me back to the bed and he heard my little and small cry of pain. Shit! He step back quickly and wince. “Linda I’m so sorry.” “You are?” His pain was deepen. “Yes.” A tear fell down my cheek. He put a hand on my cheek and clean the tear away. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “But your sorry of what happen.” I couldn’t stop my sobs and he was confuse. “Yes, because I hurt you.” “But I love every minute of last nigh.” “Really?” He whisper. I smile.

“Really.” I kiss him, and he lower me back and I wince again. “How about breakfast?” I smile. “And don’t move I’ll bring it to you. Ok?” “OK.” And he went to make me breakfast. I try to get up to go to the bathroom, but I was in pain. Shit. Shit. Shit. He was too rough with me, but I love it. I mean the pain was just at first. I got up with difficulty and clean my self up. When I sat on the bed I started to have a flash back. “Mom why you don’t extended the present and let me go with Anthony?” My mother smile and I swear I saw fangs? I gasp. “What’s wrong honey?” I shook my head. “Nothing. Answer my question.” “Because of this.” My father was on my back and bite my neck. I yell. “Nooo.” I was yelling stronger. “Get off me.” “Linda. Linda. Are you ok?” It was Adrian I touch my neck in panic. I clung to him and close my eyes. He stroke my hair. “Shh. I won’t let them hurt you.” I force my self to calm down. “So what did you make?” “This.” He handed me a plate with scramble egg and toast with a glass of milk. I ate them really quick. After the plate was empty he took the plate and went down stair. When he came back I sigh. “What’s wrong?” I look at him. “NO.” “What?” I put an innocent face. “You still sore.” “Maybe if.” “No.” I sigh.

“Ok your ri.” I acted like I had another flash back and he came really fast to my side. I grab his shirt and kiss him. He kiss me back. I lower my self to the bed pushing him with me. He started to protest, but I put a finger in his lips while the other hand still grab his shirt. “I just want to feel the same thing I fell yesterday, but without the alcohol in my body.” I kiss him. “Plus you just have to be very very gently, and you won’t forget that this time.” He smile and kiss me. And yes he treated me like I was a flower. He was passing his hand all over my body… “What can a 18 year girl who don’t go school do now?” He smile. “You can start training.” I roll and went to dress up. “I told you I won’t be a slayer.” He put his clothes on too. “Why not?” “I though you promise me. You won’t hurt my family.” He glare. “They hurt mine.” Shit. They did kill his brother in the most horrible way. Tears felt down my cheek. He came really fast to my side and clean the tear with his hands. “I’m sorry.” I close my eyes and put my head in his chest. “I’m sorry Adrian.” He hold me tighter knowing what was coming next. “Maybe we shouldn’t.” “No please don’t leave me.” I pull him tighter. “I won’t ask again.” But I do own him, and I will pay for my parents assassination. “I’ll do it. But with one condition.” He pull away to see my face. He was really happy. “I’ll get out whenever I want to.” He frown. He sigh. “Deal.” He touch my face with his hands and I close my eyes. “Linda?” He whisper. That didn’t sound good. “Yes?” “Why were you spring cleaning the house when I came… you know that day?” “I felt horrible for what my parents had done… and every time my nerves are that bad I had to occupied my self or I’ll go crazy.” He smile.

“Sorry I miss interpreted.” I smile. “That’s ok.” He kiss me gently. “Ok time to miss your future family and the people who will help you train.” I frown. “Don’t worried. They’ll be really happy. They have been nagging me to find a girlfriend.” I smile, that was odd. “Why?” He blush. “I’m 25.” I gasp. He… I shook my head. “Are you.” “No I’m ok.” I kiss him. “Ok lets meet the… gang?” He laugh.

Chapter 5 We arrive into a pretty house. Well, pretty is kind of short… The house is a mansion I turn to look at Adrian. He just give me a timid smile. “We got money.” He looked embarrassed. “How?” “Hello.” An thirties something guy step out the door to greet us. “My name Adrian Morris.” I look at Adrian. “Yeah I’m a Junior.” I smile and shake Adrian’s father hands and enter in the house. In the house was a group of peole. Some where injure and I couldn’t help it but wince. They were hurt because of my parents. Suddenly I had an uneasy feeling. “Nice to meet you Adrian.” I gave him a timid smile. He smile at me.

“So son why haven’t you told us you were going to bring visitors?” He look at Adrian with a face that I couldn’t read. “We need to get Linda and bring her here.” I gasp. He look at me confuse. I started to sweat. I was shaking. Oh my God! He trick me. He is going to kill me or let the “Linda wait is not what you think.” “Linda?” Some on the group growl. And the next thing I was on the floor with a twenty some guy was on top of my. I was in such shock that I just stare at him. Adrian grab his shirt and throw him across the room. I cover my face with my hands. I felt like somebody lift me from the floor and then I was on a couch, but I didn’t took the hands from my face. I was: mad, angry, embarrassed, and most of all sad and hurt. “Linda?” “Marc?” I sat up looking for him. He came to my side. “You are the girl my brot… You are the daughter of the vampires?” “You are Adrian brother?” “Yes.” This is great. Really great. “So…” But he didn’t say it. “Linda this is not an ambush.” I glare at him. “Then why the hell you didn’t tell your father or family about me?” “I was, but with you at my side.” I glare at him. “Good so.” I shook my head. Adrian got on my side. “Sorry we just lost somebody near and dear.” I gulp. “Can you tell us where the vampires are?” I looked at Adrian. “I told him. I don’t.” I said almost in a whisper. I sigh. I really didn’t care what they do to me now. So I got brave. “I told that to Adrian already.” “Yes, honey but we didn’t believe you. Adrian did. So that’s why I told him to bring you.” He interrupted me.

I look at him. “Well I don’t know, but just so you see my honest response… I told Adrian I didn’t know where they were, but even if I did I would not help you guys to kill them I will protect them against you.” Adrian put one hand in his forearm. And Marc looked at my in shook, but Adrian father glare at me. “Why would you protect monsters?” “Those monster happen to be my parents.” “No they are not. You parents are dead.” I glare at him. “Look I already had this conversation with Adrian J.R.” I stood up. “So if you’ll excuse me.” I glare at Adrian. “Like I told you before… Stay away from me.” A traitor tear felt down to my cheek. Angrily I took it away. He grab my arm. “Let go.” “Don’t.” I shook it away. “I’ll take her to her house.” Marc said. “We are not done here.” Adrian father said. “She told you the truth dad, and you know she is saying the truth. So what are you going to do hold her hostage?” “Is a though.” Marc help me outside. I got in his car and started to cry. “I’m so sorry. But my brother does like you.” I put my head in the head board. “Linda I…” I smile at him. “I will honor my promise.” He look at me really surprise. “Yes, I didn’t forgot.” “I…” I smile. “I know is horrible. I think I just broke up with your brother. I met him…” I shook my head. “And you are his brother, but I did promise you a shot at conquering my heart if I find out I was not horrible.” I smile. “And I did… still like you.” He didn’t say anything. I told him where I live. When we arrive he park and help me out the car. “You want something to drink?”

“No.” He lend towards me. “What are you doing?” But he kiss me. I push him away and stood up. “Didn’t you agree to give me a chance?” “Yes, but take it easy. I got a broken heart, something I didn’t have when in the institute.” He wince. “You are right. I’m sorry.” “Is ok. I.” “Don’t.” I look at him. “Don’t feel bad.” I smile and hug him. “Thanks for understanding.” Adrian step into the door like the house was his. I kiss Marc to hurt Adrian. I know Marc didn’t deserve that, but hey I was giving him a chance. Marc kiss me back, but Adrian was on our side and throw Marc towards a wall. I ran at his side. “Oh my God! Marc are you ok?” “Yes.” He whimper. I help him towards the couch on the mean while Adrian just stare at us. Once Marc was on the couch Adrian grab me and ran towards the forest. “Let me go you brute.” He was running really fast and we were deep in the woods. Then he let me go. He kiss me, but not the gentle kiss of… this kiss was demanding strong I try to pull away… but he hold me tight. I was fighting the kiss and he was trying to hold me so I fall in the floor he pin me down and was on top of me. “Let me go!” “No you like me and I won’t step down without a fight.” He kiss me again, but I had my mouth close. He change strategies. He kiss my neck passionately and I gasp. I close my eyes. “Adrian.” I whisper. He kiss my neck and I could feel a red mark forming. I grab his hair and he took the opportunity to kiss me and this time I let him. He started to unbutton my jean. “Adrian Marc is hurt.” I said trying to catch my breath. I push him off me and button the only one he got and stood up.

“Besides I decided to give him a chance.” He grab me by the waist and pull me closer. I put both my hands in his chest. “Please! Don’t.” “I’m not letting you go.” “You did. The time you.” I took a big breath that was not fair. “I feel like you use me. Like my first time was with someone who were trying to get me to an ambush.” He hug me. “I… you were the one that.” He stop. “I know, and I know you try to stop me to. At least until I was sober and deep inside I know it wasn’t an ambush. But right now that’s how I feel.” He grab me stronger and I knew he didn’t want to leg go of me until I was with him or I don’t know. “ I told your brother that I will give him a chance. And I made the promise in the institute.” He let go of me. “Will you?” He whisper. “No.” I pause. “I don’t think I can be with anybody else like that.” He smile. “I’ll wait for you.” He told me with a smile. “Don’t hold your breath.” He lend toward me. But I just step back. “I have to go. I have to check on your brother.” But he didn’t let me go. “He’ll be fine we are use to being throw across a room by vampires all the time.” “I still have to go.” He looked so sad I almost forgot about him. I close my eyes turn around and ran towards the house. I didn’t stop until I was at my door. “Linda?” “Yes is me Marc. Are you ok?” He sat down on the couch and smile. I got on his side and sat down. “I’m so sorry.” But he just laugh. “Don’t worried. We get throw against a wall almost daily. After a while you don’t even feel it anymore.”

“Oh yeah? Then why you look horrible?” “Well, because I had almost two years without fighting vampires.” He smile and lean towards me, but then froze and look mad? Sad? Disgusted? I couldn’t read it. I look at the door but it was empty. He touch a part on my neck. Oh shit! “I can explain.” I said quickly. He lean away from me and looked away. “No you don’t have to.” I grab his hands. “Yes I do. I accepted you as my boyfriend and the truth is nothing happen… Well, nothing that I let happen… see Adrian grab me and try to kiss me and since I didn’t open my mouth he… well… he did this to my neck.” I pointed out. “Why you didn’t kiss him back? I know you like him.” I did kiss him back after the… “I’m your… we are boyfriend and girlfriend right?” I smile at him. He flush and look away. “I don’t know.” “Then what did you mean about give you a chance.” “You accept being my girlfriend and see if it turn into something more.” “Then that’s why I didn’t kiss him back, because I was on the assumption I was your girlfriend.” “Can I ask you a question?” “Sure.” “Do you like my brother?” I sigh and looked away. “Did you broke up with him, because you think he ambush you?” I bite my lips. “Those are two question.” I whisper. He hold my face with one hand and make me look at him. I fight back tears. “Look… you know me. I never knew how, since I didn’t talk much on that place… that’s why you make me promise you I’ll give you a chance. You knew I like you, but didn’t wanted

to be involve with someone else. And is not fair that I gave your brother.” And slept with him… “Without knowing him, a chance where you were fighting so hard for one. So, to answer your question. I would of broke off with him anyways, no matter how horrible that would of look like.” I sigh. “Even if it would of break your heart?” I smile and kiss him. He was so caught of guard that kiss me back. He lower me into the sofa and I let him. He put a hand on my stomach and lower it until reaching my jeans. Once he started unbutton them I open my eyes. “What are you doing?” “Sorry.” He sat straight up. “I. With you. I’m sorry.” “Its just too fast ok?” “Yes. Then please don’t get me of guard. That way I can control better.” I try to hide a smile. “Are you making fun of me?” “Me?” I try to put an innocent look. “Never.” “That’s it.” And he started to tickle me. I got up and ran away from him. Up the stair and into my room. He catch up with me, grab me by the waist and pull me close to him. “Are you sure?” I laugh. “About what?” “Us being a couple.” I looked at him. I was going to kiss him but step back without breaking for his grab. “Can I kiss you?” He smile and kiss me. I pull back. “Yes I’m sure.” “Are you hungry?” “No, but you can get anything you like. I’ll wait for you here.” I smile. “And please don’t take to long.” I wink. He went down stair and once he was out of sight. I put my self on the bed and started to cry. I’m getting in between two brothers. Can I be more horrible? I like Marc, but Adrian’s green eyes are the one that stays with me. Stupid promise. But I did like him when I didn’t remember my stupid life. My stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Life. I sight.

“Linda?” I look at Marc. “Are you ok?” I try to smile, but the stupid smile didn’t fee right. “Are you crying?” I touch my cheek. Shit! Once he was sitting next to me I grab the apple he had in his hand and bite into it. “Hey! I though you said you were not hungry.” I gave the apple back. “Just checking it wasn’t poison.” I smile. “So you would die for me? Miss Snow White?” He raise one eyebrow. “Of course.” I nod trying to put on a serious face. “Oh no!” He said dropping the apple. I looked at it. “What?” I said alarm. “What's here? An apple, closed in my true love's hand?” I smile and lay on the bed with my eyes close. “Poison, I see, hath been hers timeless end: O churl! She eat it all, and left no friendly piece To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, To make die with a restorative.” He kiss me and my lips curl into a smile. I just couldn’t help it. He was so funny. “Thy lips are warm.” I could feel him looking around. “Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!” “This is thy sheath;” He motion like he stab himself. “there rust, and let me die.” He fall next to me and I sit down lowering my self towards him. “Oh Romeo I’m not dead I was just hungry you silly goose. What shall I do without you?” I put the back of my hand on my forearm. I drop on the bed. He sat up and lower to me and kiss me. I grab him and kiss back. Then he pull away. “You like Romeo?” “A little bit. I never understood how they were so ready to die for a person they didn’t know that much.” I smile. “Me neither.” “Ok. Don’t you have to meet with your family?” “Are you throwing me out?” I smile. “Maybe.”

He sigh. “Ok. I do have to check on Adrian.” I wince. “Sorry.” He kiss my cheek and went to the door. “Where are you going?” “Home?” He said confuse. “Without waiting for me to accompany you to the door?” He shook his head. He came to my side and grab my hands. I went with him downstairs. “What are you going to say to your family?” “I’m going to tell them the truth that you made a promise to me… and I’ll tell them I convince you.” “Convince me of what?” “To kill the vampires.” “Are you talking about my family?” I scowl. “No I’m talking about the monster that look like your family.” I could feel my head red with anger. “Wow!” “What?” “This must be a new record. I was with your brother for what? two days or one? With you was a couple of hours.” He came really close to my face. “What are you saying?” “What I told Adrian. I will not ever nor will I let you kill my parents.” “What? Adrian said that you said yes to become a vampire slayer.” “No. I said I will train to be able to defend my self against them. Obviously I change my mind.”

“Linda.” “Get out!” He sigh. “My brother is really crazy.” He whisper. I raise my eyebrow at him. “What?” I said really angry. “He accepted your offer of no hunting the vampires. Just because you ask him.” I wince. “Linda… they’ll kill you.” “That’s my choice.” He storm out of the house and I could hear his car accelerated. I sat on the couch and smile. Adrian was willing to sacrifice his hate for vampire and not hunt my family. “Adrian.” I throw my self in the couch.

Chapter 6 I woke up with in the living room. “Arg! What should I do now?” I was suppose to start training today. I clean the house it took me little time since I already spring clean the house the other day. So I grab a toast and milk and head outside. I went to the grocery to fill up the refrigerator. Thanks to my parents I had money. I really didn’t wanted to think about where they got the money from. Once I finish buying groceries and putting them in place I got out again… I saw a school for martial art. “Good morning. How may I help you?” “Are you guys open for registration?” The guy on the counter smile. “Yes.” He gave me some paper work and while I was filling it out he kept talking to me. “The classes are everyday at 9 to 12.” I gasp “Three hour strait?” “Yep. That will help your resistant. Are you interested?” “Yes.” I smile. After the registration and paying for the full year he gave me a tour of the place. The teacher of the class I was going to take was muscular, but not ridiculous muscular… he had beautiful black hair with brown eyes and he looked 25. “John this is your new student.” He smile at me and walk towards us. “Nice to meet you…” “Linda.” I shook his hands. “So I’ll see you tomorrow here at nine?” “Yes. I’ll be here.” “I probably should warn you. It’s going to be one on one.”

“Why?” “Because Its February and my classes are half way done, plus you are my only beginner.” I blush. “OK see you tomorrow.” The day went by like a blur. Marc didn’t came, so I guess we are broken up. I sigh. Maybe I was bad luck and I was not aloud to have a boyfriend. I spent my time in the shower crying. It was horrible I miss Adrian and Marc. And when I put my PJ and went to bed I cry so more I felt so alone… eventually I cry my self to sleep. When I woke up the first thing I notice was that it was 8 in the morning. “Shit!” I clean my face really quick and dress in black just to be funny. Then made a quick stop at MacDonald and buy breakfast. I ran towards the building and into the class where my teacher was waiting for me. He smile at me and looked at the clock. “Just in time.” I throw the rest of the breakfast into the trash can. “You don’t want to get in bad side.” “You got a bad side?” “Oh yeah. I hate tardiness.” I gulp. “Ok today we are going to learn self defense.” Great. “Show me what would you do if somebody grabs you.” He grab my arm and turn me so my back was on his chest. I try to get away. I sigh. “So you would give up?” “Not yet.” “Oh.” He understood. “So you think this attacker is not an serial assassin but a rapist?” “Yes.” “Ok, you are wrong and he put something in your mouth that make you pass out.” He put his hands on my mouth. “Lay down.” I did. “Ok, you wake up in a cell a dark cell I might add.” I stood up. “What are you doing?” “Looking around my cell.” “Why?” He raise and eyebrow. “To see if I can escape.”

“Ok, you see nothing.” “So I just wait for the assassin to come.” He smile. He came acting like a sinister guy. He made a motion of opening the cell grab me by the arm just to throw me again in the floor. I hit my head. Thank goodness the floor had a mattress covering it. He got on top of me and pin my hands back to the floor. “Try to get me off.” I pull up the legs and hit his groin really hard. He felt to the side. I stood up and made the motion of running away laughing. “Ok.” He said grabbing his… well you know. “You are the first one to dare do that.” I smile. “Why?” “I guess they see me as a teacher and not the bad guy like I ask them to.” “So I pass that first test?” “Oh yeah.” He stood up and walk towards me. “Lets say you didn’t find the exit and got distracted looking around the cell.” “Ok.” I turn to the other side. He grab me like the first time my back on his chest. I hit you on the head with something. I put my self on the floor. He got on top of me again. “Remember you are awake, but to weak to do the leg thing again.” I nod. He put the hands back again. “Ok adrenaline is rushing thro you. But you are too weak and he is reaching to take your shirt off.” He did the motion to do that. “Wait, I though he was an assassin?” “Yeah, but most serial killer of woman. Rape them violently before torturing them and killing them.” I gulp. “So that’s what he is planning to do now.” He took my shirt off I try to free my hands but he was stronger than me. I elevated my legs again but he sense it and hit me in the stomach. I couldn’t even curl into a ball because he was holding me. Tears fell down my cheek. He step out. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t.” I said curling into a ball. “If you were real I would not have been able to curl like this. “Are you ok?” “No. I think my belly is swelling.” “Let me see.” I was on my back and he pull up the shirt. “Hum.” “What?” He look at my face and flush. “Oh nothing. It is swelling, but you’ll be ok. That’s what were are going to be practicing. For you to take pain, but still being able to defend your self.” “Ok.” But kept on the floor. He stood up and look at me smiling. “Can you go on with the class or you want to come tomorrow?” I stood up with effort. “No you told me you were going to teach me to deal with pain, and being able to defend my self.” By the time that 12 came around I almost had to get out crawling out of there. The teacher mocking me ask me if he could carry me. I just scowl at him. I was in such pain that when I went to the house I just craw the stair up and lay on the bed and felt asleep. “Oh my God! Linda are you ok?” I open my eyes and saw Marc worried face. “Did the vampire came for you?” He started to talk to himself. “That’s not possible they would of kill her.” I sat up. “Ouch! No I’m… Wait a minute that’s none of your business! Get out! Ouch!” He was really worried. “I just came to see if you were alive and if you were not I was going to track them down.” “Well I’m alive and human. Get out!” He wince. I grab my PJ and went to the bathroom to get all that sweat out. The shower was horrible. “How am I going to go back? Tomorrow is going to be hell.” When I got out all clean, but sore. Marc was still there. “WHAT THE HELL? I told you to get out.” I touch my stomach. Apparently screaming was not good for me.

“I made you a fruit salad. I bet you haven had lunch.” I look at the bowl of salad. “I’m not hungry.” “Please?” I sigh. “Ok with one condition.” “Sure.” “How is Adrian?” He frown. “He is ok. Now eat.” He gave me the bowl. I frown but took it. He watch me eat the fruit. “Linda?” “Hum?” I said with a fruit in my mouth. “Did you miss me?” I smile. “You only been gone for a day.” He frown. “But you miss Adrian.” I smile. “Not I don’t.” Suddenly I couldn’t eat anymore my stomach was hurting. “Are you ok?” “I’ll be fine. You should go.” “Yes.” He left. That month pass really fast for me, because since Marc or Adrian didn’t visit me I spent most of my days in the school I was studying self defense and martial arts. By the end of March John put me into a serial of test. Really hard I might add. I could defend my self even if I was in the most horrible pain ever. I could kick and do some martial move. “Wow Linda. You are a quick learner. Almost two month ago you were a beginner and now you might be more advance that my other students.” I smile at him. He look at his watch. “You want to grab lunch with me?” I raise an eyebrow.

“Don’t you got class?” “Yes, but at 1. I got an hour lunch.” “Ok. I already had lunch made in my house you are welcome to eat there.” “Perfect.” He follow me with his car. I pre heated the food and serve him and me. “Oh! This is good. You made it?” “Yes.” I smile. “You are a great cook.” “Thank you.” “Your welcome. Hey! do you have a boyfriend?” “NO!” I couldn’t help it, but to be defensive. “Are you suppose… why are you asking me?” He look at his plate. “Your cute.” I glare at him. “And?” “I was wondering why you don’t have a boyfriend.” “What makes you think I don’t have one?” “Well if you were my girlfriend taking some classes I would take you there and pick you up, and I definitely would not let you pass most of your time there. I would paper you.” I glare even more at him. “I don’t want one. And you should not be asking me or telling me something like that you are my teacher.” He didn’t look at me. “I’m sorry.” He took his plate to the sink and went to the door. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Once he was out I took my to the sink too and clean the dishes. I sigh. I been single for. Stop right there missy. You want him to die or hate you? No. I went to the bathroom I took my clothes off and just as I was about to enter to the shower I remember that I didn’t took my PJ out. I sigh. I got out to my room naked and gasp.

“Adrian?” But he didn’t say anything he just look at me. He walk slowly towards me and I could hear my hearth pounding in my chest. I step back with every time he took a step forward. Until I felt in the shower. He ran towards me. “Are you ok?” But I just look at him in shock. I was laying on the shower. Naked I might add. His hand rose slowly, and when his fingers touched my cheek they were warm. So warm. “Adrian.” But he ignore me and his hand slid back to cup my head, and he kissed me. Adrian’s mouth was soft and warm. He tasted like the candy I’ll ever craved. Like comfort… I could have become mired in that kiss like quicksand—unaware I was sinking until it was too late to fight. And for a moment I was. I got lost in mutual, and exquisite pleasure. And I kissed him back. Simply because it felt good. Everything around me was falling apart. I forgot I was supposed to be mad at him or even hate him. Adrian was right there, and kissing him felt good, when I really needed something to. That kiss was the only thing in my life that didn’t hurt, at that moment. Though if I’d thought it through, I would have known that in the end, it could hurt as badly as any of those other life-wounds. But I wasn’t thinking. I was feeling. I was feeling Adrian’s mouth on mine. His scent surrounding me. His hand in my hair. I was feeling how badly he wanted this. How badly he wanted me, and needed to know that I still care for him. He kissed me again, and I was no more prepared the second time around. But he was. That second kiss started out gentle, but built quickly when I didn’t pull away. I should have pulled away. But I didn’t, and the next thing I knew, I was pressed between the shower floor and the front of Adrian, his hand on my waist, his tongue in my mouth. His mouth sucked at mine desperately, his lips soft but insistent. His left hand tilted my head gently, giving him a deeper angle, and when my fingers found the curve of his arm, his pulse spiked. He inhaled sharply, but his mouth never left mine. I pulled away, confused as a wave of dizziness washed over me. “Wait…” “I miss you so much,” he murmured against my ear, his words slurred but earnest. He kissed me again, and whatever resistance I’d felt before melted away like sugar on my tongue. My hand trailed from his arm to his chest, lingering on the smooth, hard lines, and I found myself deepening our kiss, sucking on his lower lip as he moaned into my mouth. His fingers traced my hair down my back, then followed my lowest rib around to my stomach, where he lifted my breast slowly, trailing his fingers

along my skin. I groaned when his hand found my right breast, and his tongue dipped deeper into my mouth. Then, suddenly impatient, he squeeze gently. My heart sped up until I thought it would break free from my chest, and I closed my eyes as a surge of vertigo crashed over me, liberally laced with an intoxicating dose of need. Adrian pulled away from me just long enough to take his shirt over his head, then his mouth found mine again quickly, as if to cut off any protest I might utter. His hands went around my back. He gently angle us both sideways as he gently lowered me to the floor of the bathtub, propped on his right elbow. The bathtub was cold against my back, but I only had a moment to notice that, because in the next, he’d tugged the button at his waist free from its hole, and was pulling his pants down, one-handed. His jeans landed in a heap on the floor. And just like that Adrian was undressed in less than a heartbeat, and his warm, firm weight settled onto me as his mouth found mine again. He throbbed against my stomach, hot and hard. His hand roamed slowly down my side. He gripped my hip tightly and groaned against my jaw as his lips trailed toward my throat. I curled my hand in his hair and he shifted carefully to one side, gripping my backside. Plastic ripped, and I had a moment to wonder if he always carried a condom in his pocket. Then he was back. Pleasantly dizzy, I let my fingers wander his back as the muscles bunched and shifted with each movement. My spine arched as his tongue wet a path from my throat to trail between my breasts. He lifted my left leg, then settled himself between my thighs. My pulse spiked, and I felt my legs wrap around his waist. They tightened around him involuntarily when his hand moved between us. His mouth closed around my nipple, sucking gently as one finger slid inside me, testing. I clenched around him, and he groaned again, withdrawing his finger slowly. My head swam, and I tried to close my eyes. But he took my chin in hand until I looked at him. Then he entered me gradually, as if each centimeter should be treasured individually. I couldn’t breathe until he was all the way in, filling me with a familiar thickness. For a moment, neither of us moved. His eyes burned into me, green flames of pain and longing, blazing in spite of the tears threatening to douse them. Then he moved within me, and I arched up to meet him with each stroke, my fingers trailing over the familiar planes of his body—lines and muscles I’d seen a couple of times. His eyes never closed. Not even at the end, when everything tightened around an intense spiral of pleasure, uncoiling within me. Within us both. My hips arched to meet his, seeking more friction, faster contact. And finally he shuddered from head to toe as my legs clenched around his hips, holding us tightly together.

I let my eyes close, and my body relaxed onto the floor, allowing the cold surface of the bathtub to leach some of the heat from our union, mercifully cooling my overheated body. He carry me and put me in the bed and lay besides me. And I felt asleep. I wake up to the smell of bacon. Did I cook something? Oh my god! Adrian. And just as I said his name he came to the room with breakfast. I cover my face with my hands. How come I lose control with this boy and be so strong with Marc and John? I just don’t like him… “Good morning.” He said with a smile, but I just look at him with my lips seal. He frown. “I’m sorry. I saw you naked and” He shook his head. I smile bitterly. “Don’t worry I understand.” He look confuse. “You do?” “Yeah you saw a naked beautiful girl and had to seduce her.” He glare. “You think you are just a girl to me?” “Yes. You use me, slept with me, and took me to an ambush.” “I told you I didn’t.” I sigh. “Look Linda I came to talk to you because this two month has been horrible. I miss you too much. Please don’t push me away again.” I throw my self back at the bed. He got in the bed and in my side putting the plate in my nose. It smell good. “What time is it?” I said closing my eyes. I like this guy. I mean I really really like him. “ 8:30 why?” I jump out of the bed and put my underwear brush my teeth and put the first clothes I saw. On the mean while Adrian was asking me what was the rush. “Look I have to go and I don’t have time to explain.” I said running towards the door. “I’ll be here at 12. If you want to talk. I’ll see you by then.” “But you didn’t even eat.” I ignore him. Got in my car and race toward the class, but I was 10 minutes late. And John was red with fury.

“What the hell happen?” He grab me by the arm. I would of say that’s breaking my personal space, but I had see him treating really worse student who came late to his class. “I couldn’t sleep last night. And I over slept today.” I shrug. “You know the punishment.” I open my eyes wide. “But in two moth I never once been late. This is my first time.” “No exemptions. Go run until I tell you stop.” Oh shit. I knew when others came late they ran for an hour straight and if I dare to collapse in the floor he would grab me by the hair. I started to run. After 30 minutes my legs were screaming at me. I started to collapse, but I fight with my body to keep running. But after 10 more minutes I fall in the floor. “You got one second to get up.” I had to fight to breath. He came to my side and grab my hair and started to pull me up, but he has teach me to endure pain and I was so tire that I could endure the pain. My hands were numb, my legs… well they might as well be dead. He was really angry. He got on top of me. “So if I would have been chasing you… After 40 minutes I could have you?” He lower himself towards my mouth. Then took my shirt off. Usually when he did that I would hit his groin or push him away. So he was able for the first time to take my jeans too. I just put my cheek on the mat. “At least after 40 minutes I’ll be too numb to feel anything.” I said still fighting with my breath. He smile and kiss me and I bite his lip. A drop of blood felt into my lips. He groan and slap me and everything went black. When I woke up I was on my bed with Adrian and John arguing. “Well like I said before. What kind of teacher are you?” “Adrian?” I whisper. They both ran to my side. “What happened John? Why am I in my house?” “Well you pass out on me and I had to bring you home. Here.” He gave me a teaspoon with water. I took it and then spit it out. “Is this water with sugar?” “It will help you.”

“No thank you.” “At least eat this banana.” I took it and eat it, and surprisingly I felt better. “I’m sorry I pass out. I promise I’ll make it up tomorrow I can show at 8 and go at 1 or 2.” He look at me and smile, but Adrian face turn red with anger. “Why on earth would you have to make it up to this asshole?” I look at him in shock. “She is my student and if she wants to keep the class she has to be early or accept the punishment when she break the rule.” “So she was punish to run into passing out, because she was late?” “Yes.” He look at John with suspicious eyes. “Uh- hu. Sounds to me that you punish her more because she was late and not spending that minute with you than actually being late.” I laugh. Now the jealousy on Adrian was making him stupid I saw John punish others student like that. I could say even worse. “You are being ridiculous. I’m not the only one he punish like that.” “I see.” He smile crookedly. “ So did he ask why you were late?” “Of course not. There’s no excuse for being late.” “Ok so he won’t be mad if I tell him why?” My hearth started to beat really hard I started to shake, because even thou I know that he didn’t punish me out of jealousy. He had invited me out and ask me if I had a boyfriend. “OUT!” “But why?” He had a pain expression and John smirk at him. “Because your acting like an asshole.” He lower his head. “I’m sorry I am, but is just that I got worried. I been waiting here for you, so we could talk.”

“You must not be waiting much because I came really early.” I look at the clock it was 12. “John must of have bring me here at 10 so I was out for an hour.” He sigh. “Please I need to talk to you.” I sigh too and look at John. John smile at me and said. “Rest well, eat well, because tomorrow will be worse.” He wink at me and headed outside. Adrian growl, but John just laugh. I glare at Adrian. “Talk.” He went to the bed to my side and sat down. “I think I’m in love with you Linda.” I look at him, not sure what to say. “I told my family that.” I gasp. “You what?” “It gets worse.” I saw a tear falling down his cheek. I put one hand over and took it out. “I left the group and told them that if you don’t see your parents as a treat…then I would respect that.” “But.” But he put a finger in my lips. After yesterday and the way I couldn’t resist him I knew I love him too. “Marc is not happy.” He smile crookedly. “What?” “Well he knows you like me.” He winks at me. “And he was hoping solicitude would bring you to your senses.” I frown. “You saw how that plan would not work right?” He frown too. “I had to admit that I though he’s plan would work. I though just like him that you were going into our step and tell us to train you, just so you have people around you. Because we know you prefer…well no. We know that you don’t know how to contact your family and they will visiting you in three years. And I have to admit you surprise me.” I gave him my triumphant smile. “And he is hot too. And you know what’s the best part?”

“What?” He said between his teeth. I smile. “I think he does like me. And he is cute, 25, single, did I mention hot.” He glare at me and got in top of me putting both my hands against my bed and look at me. “But can he do this?” He kiss my neck and I shiver. He laugh with his lips still press in my neck. “And make you do that?” He was pissing me off. Ok yeah he was the only guy who I couldn’t resist, but that doesn’t mean he had to take advantage. He then hold both of my hands with one of his and started to rub my belly with the other one. My breath become short. I close my eyes and whisper he’s name and when he stop holding me down to take his shirt off I remember his words. He was challenging my self control, so I elevated my leg and hit he’s groin. He gasp and fell besides me. I laugh. “I guess your losing your charm on me.” But he doesn’t answer he was holding his part. Looking for he’s breath to come back. “Are you ok?” “No.” He groan. “I think I won’t be able to.” He stop. “Is it sore? I didn’t mean to hit you so hard.” I started to feel bad for him. I did… do love him. I sigh. I put my hand on his groin and start to rub, hoping it will heal him, but he moan. “Upss.” I take the hand really fast and start to get up. “Why you said Upss? It works.” He smile. He grab my hand and pull me to the bed. I got in bed and he start to kiss me and lowering me to bed. “I love you.” He whisper and I close my eyes. “I love you too.” I whisper. And I just let him have me. When I woke up it was the other day, but it was early it was 5 in the morning. I look at my side and Adrian was sleeping peacefully. I took a long shower and got dress. Then went downstairs to make breakfast I made for me and Adrian and once I had it serve in the plate I started to go upstairs to surprise Adrian with breakfast in bed when I notice a couple of luggage in the living room. “Hum? That’s weird.” “What’s weird?” I was so take it by surprise that I let the plates fall.

“Oh Shit! Thanks a lot.” I clean the mess up and start cooking again. Adrian help me this time. “Why are luggage in my living room?” I said while we were eating in the kitchen table. He flush. “I got kick out. I.” “You can stay here.” I blurted out before he could say he was going to look for a place to live. “Really?” “Sure. We are already doing the sharing the bed from time to time thing.” I wink at him. I look at the clock and it was 7. “I have to go.” “Too early wait a little more.” I smile. “Please. Not jealousy. I told you I love you.” I smile got dispose of my plates and his. And then went to his side. I kiss him and he kiss me. “Are you sure you?” “No. Go shower with ice cool water.” I laugh and headed outside. I got at the building at 7:30. John smile at me. “Wow thirty minutes early. I’m impress.” We train until two I mean when he said to rest, eat and get good for today he meant it. I was so tire I lay in the mattress. He lay next to me. “So.” But that’s the only thing he said. “Yes?” “I’m sorry. I should of gave you a break. It was the only time you did came late and you look like you avoided breakfast so you didn’t make it later.” I smile. “That’s ok. You can’t break you way to be just because of me. Although you could of avoid the slapping.” “I didn’t.”

“What?” “Your boyfriend was right. I was jealous. When I saw you were running late I just got worried. I was going to give you 30 minutes to get here or I would of start looking for you. And when I saw you coming all flush well I knew the only reason you were late was because… well…” But he didn’t say it. I sat up really mad at my self and look at him. “I think I have to withdraw.” “What? Why?” “You are starting to feel something for me and I … well I’m in love with Adrian.” He looked away. “I’m sorry. I’m curse that way.” He laugh. “Why you said that?” “Because every time I meet a boy… well I boy I like to be my friend. He falls for me.” “We can be friends.” “I don’t think we can.” “Don’t drop out. You are really good at it and I won’t… well you won’t notice I still feel something for you.” “That would be not fair for you.” I smile at him. “Don’t quit.” He stood up and left. Great he didn’t even wait to see if I would be here tomorrow. When I got to my car Marc was leaning against it. “Marc what are you doing here?” But he just smile crookedly. “I need to talk to you and Adrian. My father brought me, but since he didn’t wanted to see you and needed the car he assume you weren’t going to be so heartless and say no.” He look at me pleading. “Sure.”

“Can I drive? Adrian is not in your house.” “Sure.” We drove into a forest I never has seen before. “Ok from now on, we have to walk.” We got out the car and started to walk. After a long walk I started to get tire and uncomfortable since Marc didn’t say a word and I was so scare of him being angry at me that I was a head of him so I didn’t look his face. “Ok how long?” But he grab me and with his lips in my ear he said. “My dad is dealing with him. I’m dealing with you.” And he touch with one finger one part of my neck and everything went blank. I woke up I don’t know how long after and I was in a dark room. In a cell. Chapter 7 “This is fucking great!” I groan. “Oh good your up.” He came to the door of my cell and look at me. “I’m so sorry about this. I want you to know I do like you.” “Cut the crap! What the hell do you want? Where is Adrian?” He smile. “Adrian is way better than you are.” He role his eyes. “My father wouldn’t do the change your mind or else like with you.” I glare at him. “Yes you are the bait to kill us some vampires.” “Then why kidnap me? They are not showing their faces to me for three years.” He smile. “Well we might have to sacrifice a human life, but just because that human has said she rather become a vampire than fight them.” I got really scare and tears fell down my cheek. “Aw, don’t cry. You got luck on your side.” “Oh yeah? What?” He was serious. “I care for you.” “I though you did.” I whisper. He glare at me.

“Are you going to be a good girl or.” He show me a needle. “A bad girl?” I went as back as the cell a loud me. “Why do you have to come here at all?” He smile. “I.” He pause then sigh. “Answer the question.” He finally said. “I’m not hungry.” He smile. “So don’t come in.” “But I am.” “What?” And when I looked at his eyes I understood and gasp. I saw lust. “Be nice.” He open the cell enter and then lock it. I was so scare that I could not move. He carry me and put me in the bed and lower me so I was laying down. Heart pounding, I pressed my eyes shut tighter, on the theory that passive resistance was my best shot at survival. He slid one hand beneath my shorts and stroked my inner thigh. I jerked my chin from his grip and scooted backward, skinning my arm on the bed. Undeterred, his hand followed me. Marc’s hand sent nausea rolling through me, as much from the contrast as from terror and revulsion. My passive-resistance theory melted away like snow in July. I opened my eyes to glare at him. Fury lent me courage. “Fuck you,” I growled, but it may not have been my best choice of words. “That is why I… well let’s just say that fighting it would only make me want you even more.” He said, his breath hot and wet on my cheek. “Get your filthy hand off me before I bite it off.” Smiling, he squeezed my thigh hard enough to make my eyes water, but I refused to cry out. Laughter met my ears. I hate being laughed at. Closing my eyes briefly, I said a silent prayer for speed and force. Then I sucked in a deep breath and kicked out with my left leg. I arced high, aiming for his face. Marc caught my ankle in midair. He twisted my leg down and around, using the leverage to flip me onto my stomach. With one hand, he pinned my ankles together, holding my feet in the air above my hamstrings. “I know all your defense move and don’t ask me how.” He said smiling. I thrashed, trying to free my feet. It did no good.

Behind me now, Marc leaned against my legs, pressing the fronts of my thighs into the bed from knee to hip. Straining to look over my shoulder, I saw him pull a coil of nylon cord from his pocket. “I enjoy a challenge, baby.” The cord scratched my skin as he looped it around my ankles tight enough to bite into my flesh. I still fought to free my legs, but he pinned me with his body weight. “And I told you I like it when you get like that, or else where is the fun?” “If you like the struggle with bound me?” “Because you need to eat.” He look at his watch. Your been out for a while and I don’t think you are going to eat willingly are you?” He raise an eyebrow. “I will. Please take this off. They hurt.” “So you are going to be a good girl?” He show me the needle. Telling me that if he get me lose and I fight I just sleep some more. “Yes.” I said with more tear spilling down my cheeks. He cut my bounding off and I just sat in the bed. He got out without giving me his back and then disappear. After a while he came with a MacDonald bag and gave it to me thro the bars and then handed me a drink. “I hope you like coke.” “Yes.” I said with clench teeth. After I ate Marc left and I felt asleep. I woke up later to the dark room. I sigh. Adrian. I hope he is alright. “Hey your up are you hungry?” “No.” I clench my teeth together. “Good, because I wanted.” He shook his head. “Don’t you like me a little bit?” I turn away not wanting to look at him. “I though we had fireworks.” “I like you, but I’m in love with Adrian and the only way I’ll be with you if you force me.” He smile. “I knew that the first time I try and when I try again you confirmed my suspicious.”

“You are a beautiful guy.” I glare at him. “On the outside. Why not get a girl that will willingly sleep with you?” “I have, but in all of them I see you. And I have to admit that seeing you like that well turns me on even more. And just in case I had any doubts regarding his intention, the bulge in his pants spoke quite clearly. He came close to the cell. “Please don’t hurt me!” “What happen to all your determination?” I was really scare. Marc laughed again, more genuinely this time, and unlocked my cage with a needlessly harsh twist of the key. The lock popped open with a sharp click and fell into his cupped palm. Marc opened the door and stepped inside, then closed it and reached through the bars to replace the lock. Still watching him in my peripheral vision, I glanced around my cage, desperate for something to use as a weapon. Marc’s heart raced, and eagerness shined in his eyes. He was practically humming with anticipation. Instinct told me to back away from him, but I fought the urge because once I reached the wall, I’d have nowhere left to go. Better to keep my options open. He pounced, driving me back by my shoulders. He pinned me easily to the only solid wall of the cell, in spite of my attempt to avoid being trapped. Grunting, I threw my knee up hard, aiming for his groin. Marc stepped back, deftly avoiding the blow. Seizing my left arm, he yanked me forward. In a single, frighteningly fast movement, he spun me around, twisting my arm behind my back. I sucked in a short breath, and Marc pulled up on my elbow. Pain exploded in my shoulder. He shoved me face-first into the concrete blocks. I turned my head just in time to avoid a broken nose. I got a skinned cheek instead. He smell my head and I could feel his arouse. I closed my eyes, my skin crawling with revulsion. “Please stop!” I told him while his knee slid between my thighs, forcing my legs farther apart. His breath oozed across my bare neck, and I cringed to feel it, hot and damp. He then push me and I felt in to the mattress and he got on top of me. He then put my hands over my head. He pinned my wrists to the mattress with one hand. And started to take my top of. I close my eyes. I swallowed back a sob, speaking through teeth gritted against the agony in my shoulder and the panic in my chest. “Please! You don’t have to do this.”

“Oh but I do.” He said lowering him self to kiss me. But I had my lips seal. He sat up, straddling my hips, and pulled my hands forward. My fingers dangled in the air above my stomach, my wrists trapped in his left hand. I struggled to free my hands. Marc’s forced my wrists back onto the mattress, and by then I had little resistance left to offer. At least physically. I was too scare to keep fighting. He had my shirt off and started to rub my belly I close my eyes in disgust. He unbuttoned my shorts with one hooked finger. Definitely a scary skill. He jerked down on my zipper. He tugged on one leg of my shorts, which slipped halfway down my hip, dragging the waistband of my panties along for the ride. He also pull the other side with the same skill. Panicked, I kicked and bucked, trying to toss him off my legs. Marc hung on tight. He seemed to enjoy the ride, in fact, which made my stomach churn. He leaned forward, his weight threatening to crush my wrists, and got to first one knee, then the other, straddling my lower thighs. He reached down for my shorts, and pull them down. I try begging again. “Please Marc you don’t want to have me like this.” He suck on my neck and I close my eyes in disgust. I knew I couldn’t do anything else, but to give in so I just whisper. “I’m love you Adrian.” He growl. And I mean a really horrifying growl. He got up and the next thing I felt was a needle and darkness took over me. I woke up confuse I look at my self and I didn’t had a shirt, pants, or panties… I gasp, but then remember he got mad when I said that I love Adrian. Did he put me to sleep to rape me motionless? “You took me by surprise.” I yelp. “I didn’t touch you while you were unconscious. I want you awake. And you can say Adrian’s name anytime. It wont change my focus again.” I look around for my jeans so I could dress my self. “I took them out while you slept. I didn’t wanted you to put what took me too long to take off.” He look at me. “Now lay down and take your bra off.” I glare at him. “Yeah, I don’t want you to struggle I want you to stay on the bed.” “And if I don’t?” “I’ll kill Adrian.” I gasp. “Your lying. You father would never aloud that.” He smile crookedly. “Well I kind of lie to him. I told him: Linda told me that she and Adrian were becoming vampires.”

“They wouldn’t believe that and Adrian would denied that. He hate that idea.” He smile went wider. “Lets just say that he could not denied saying he didn’t love you. So if you try to attack me I’ll call Adrian and tell him I kill you and he will lose it. Trust me the boy is crazy for you. We had to bound him and gag him.” He shook his head. “So what is going to be?” I lay down on the bed and took my bra off and letting it fall in the floor. He smile. “Good girl.” He open the door and lock it again I close my eyes. “You’ll have to look at me eventually.” He got on top of me. He kissed me, and I just lay there. I could taste his toothpaste and smell his shampoo. My veins pumped scalding fury throughout my body, but I didn’t know what to do. He told me he could get Adrian kill. I closed my eyes, doing my best to ignore Marc hand cupping my ass. He shoved his tongue into my mouth, deep enough to make me gag. I barely resisted the urge to bite his tongue off. He’s hands were still grabbing my ass, his mouth still sucking at mine… His hands roamed, squeezing and prodding. His tongue trailed down my neck. His teeth pinched my earlobe, not hard enough to break the skin, but hard enough to leave indentations. I gasp and I could feel him shaking with laughter over my body. But the worst by far was the hard lump in his jeans. It throbbed against my stomach through the denim, a warning of worse things to come. Marc unzipped his pants, and that tiny whisper of a sound thundered through me like the roar of jet engine. My eyes flew open. He pushed his jeans down without ever taking his mouth from my neck. “Relax,” Marc whispered into my neck. “You’re tensing up.” A tear fell down my cheek. Marc pushed his briefs down with one hand. His fingers slid up my bare thigh. I close my eyes so shut that it hurt. He enter me and involuntarily I shoved my chest forward. He purred and his mouth traveled down to engulf my nipple. I cringed, but he mistook my shudder for one of pleasure. Boy, are you delusional, I thought…Why are guys always so willing to believe in the power of their own sexual magnetism, even when all evidence points to there being none? I think some men are born with big egos, to make up for the lack of certain necessary equipment. Like a brain. He pound me once slowly and I gasp. Marc moaned around my nipple, mistaking my gasp just as he had my cringe. Marc tucked one hand beneath my left knee. He lifted my leg, curling it around his waist as he pressed himself against me for better access. Another tear fell my cheek as he stroke me again this time a little harder. Then he grab my waist with both his hands and the gentle strokes were gone… I scream I couldn’t help

it… he became kind of violent. I don’t know how long it lasted, but finally he collapsed on top of me, his cheek against mine, his lips brushing my ear. Still inside me he whisper. “See? That wasn’t so bad. Wasn’t?” But I just push him off and turn to my side. He was so exhausted that he just lay next to me.

Chapter 8 I woke up with dried tears in my eyes… Last night when he collapse besides me I just started to cry until I felt asleep crying. I couldn’t help it… Another guy touch me against my will I was rape. Marc turn around and put his disgusting hand on me I try to get it away, but he just woke up. “Oh, hey honey.” He study my naked body and I cringe. He got on top of me and I gag. “Still mad?” “Get off me!” I said between teeth. He wince. “I’m sorry.” I glare at him. “For being too rough on me?” “Yes. I know I was an asshole, but you don’t know how long I waited for you and me be like that and I was so mad… that you were not willing…and then I got mad that I couldn’t wait to at least woo you.” He shook his head. I look at him noticing that I was naked and he was naked in top of me. And just as I though of that I could feel his arouse. I close my eyes and he lower himself and kiss my neck going up until he was on my mouth. I put my hands into fist. He started to touch all my body with his hands and I made the horrible mistake of imagining it was Adrian. So when I open my eyes and saw Adrian beautiful green eyes looking at me I smile. I grab his hair and lower him to me and kiss him. I moan saying Adrian name. He sat up really angry I didn’t understand why. He grab me by the neck making me stand up, so I took step back until my back was on the wall, but I was not scare I was looking at Adrian’s beautiful face. Then his left hand went around my waist, and his right tangled in my hair, tilting my face to meet his. He kissed me without a word, his lips hard, demanding. He probed my mouth desperately,

taking sustenance from my very soul. The fronts of my bare thighs rubbed against his groin. I felt the heat of his skin beneath. My toes barely touched the floor between his feet. He wrapped both hands around my waist and lifted me, biceps swelling with the motion. My legs wrapped around his waist. His arm snaked around my lower back, holding me up. Holding me close. My arms went around his neck. His left hand slid into my hair, cupping my head. He pulled me down and kissed me again, hungrily. Urgently. He seemed desperate to touch every part of me, to claim my body with his hands, my heart with his eyes, my soul with his need. He walked us across the room. My back slammed into the wall. I grunted in surprise, but his mouth was there again, cutting off my insincere protest with another ravenous kiss. His hand cradled my left breast, squeezing. My fingers skimmed down his chest to his stomach, trailing the thin, dark line of hair below his navel. He lifted my breast, lowering his head. His teeth brushed my nipple. Gasping now, I arched my back, thrusting up for him. He shoved me harder into the wall, and his mouth closed over my breast. His lips were hot on my skin, his tongue hotter still. My head fell against the wall, my mouth open. My fingers combed through his hair, tangling in a mass of short, glossy ringlets. Soft, silken wisps tickled my chin. Damn, I loved his hair. I drew my tongue along his neck, wrapping my legs tighter around his hips. Desperate for more, I ground myself into him. Adrian groaned around my nipple, thrusting up to meet me. “Adrian…” I moaned, my voice hoarse with need. His mouth left my breast, and he raised his head to look at me. Not smiling—just watching. Waiting, his hands on my hips. “Please…” He bend to cup my ass. My back slid up the wall. My arms snaked around his neck. His lips found mine again, his tongue plunging into my mouth. He lowered me slowly, sliding inside inch by exquisite inch. For a long moment, neither of us moved. He pulled away from my mouth and leaned back to look at me. To watch me, as I watched him, knowing we were joined, as close as two people could possibly be. In that moment, that horrifyingly short, perfect moment, nothing else mattered. There was no Marc. There was only Adrian, throbbing deep inside me. He closed his eyes and exhaled. And just like that, the moment was over, the desperation back. His eyes met mine, and need crashed over both of us. He pinned me to the wall with his chest, his hands sliding quickly out of me. Then he shoved his way back in, thrusting me into the wall over and over again. I could do nothing but cling to him, ride him, hoping it would never end. Adrian’s fingers trailed along my sides, chills chasing them in a cold, tingling trail. His hands gripped my hips, guiding me, molding me, his fingers digging

into my flesh. I moaned and gripped his shoulders, urging him on out of irresistible, undeniable craving. Leaning down, he nipped the ridge of my collarbone, then dipped lower. He nibbled the upper curve of my breast. I gasped, pushing him deeper with my legs. He moaned, and shoved into me faster. His thrusts were frantic now. Uncontrollable. He drove into me again and again, slamming my spine into the wall. His grip on my hips tightened. His nails broke through my skin as he lifted me and shoved me down, grinding me into him over and over. I gasped, tightening around him as pleasure built, driven by mutual need. His eyes closed, and he plunged harder, deeper, drawing whimpers of simultaneous pain and pleasure from me. “Adrian…” It was too much. I couldn’t take it. He ignored my inarticulate protest. Thankfully. He trembled, and release came crashing over me, pointing my toes and driving away all thought. My vision darkened. My fingers curled around his biceps. My legs clenched his back. I shuddered around him. I clasped my jaws shut to keep from screaming. Adrian’s eyes flew open. He grabbed my upper arms and pinned them to the wall, still Adrian shuddered one last time, and collapsed against me, crushing me between his chest and the wall. He was still inside me. I still clung to him, terrified for no reason I could name. Something was wrong. Something other than our nightmare of a day. I inhaled, breathing in the scent of summer rain, fresh sweat, sex, and all things Adrian. He stepped away, lifting me from him to set me gently on the ground. My legs wobbled. I felt empty. When I open my eyes it was not Adrian looking at me it was Marc I gasp and he just smile. I felt to my knees and started to cry. “Aw, don’t punish your self like that… you were great… I just hated that you imagine it was Adrian, but hey if that mean you are going to be that great… I can take it. Besides…” He got out and lock the cell. “You might want to start to like me, since you are going to see a lot of me.” I ran towards the bars and grab it with both my hands. “What do you mean?” He turn and smile at me. Then look my hole body. “Huum… well, I don’t think I can kill you, but I don’t think you will cooperated, so.” He pause for dramatic effect. “I will kill the vampires and once that’s done…” He wink at me. “I will…well… let’s just say Adrian will have an unfortunate accident.” “No you promise.” I cry.

“I lie.” He had a horrible murderous face. “Please!” He came to the bar and touch my face. “Please don’t hurt him, I promise to do what you want. I won’t say his name ever again… just please don’t hurt your brother.” He glare at me. “Will you help kill the vampires?” I step back. It wasn’t fair that I had to choose between Adrian or my parents. I close my eyes. “Fine.” And he started to leave. “Yes.” I whisper. “I’ll help.” He turn. “Next time I want you… will you be like just now, but with my name?” “Yes.” I whisper again without looking at him. “Then I swear to you I would not harm my brother.” “Can I? Can I shower?” He studied me for a moment. “If I take you upstairs to shower. Will you be a good girl?” “Yes.” He open the cell and took me to a shower. He gave me clothes and not the ones I had before. “I buy you some thing when I put you to sleep.” Once I was on the shower I rub the soap all over my body really hard. I cry while I shower. I think I just lose Adrian. Marc open the door and enter. He open the curtain of the shower. “Huum! You are smoking hot. I can’t wait till you are mine willingly.” He smile, but I just stare at him like an idiot. After a couple of minutes I grab the towel that was on the rack and put it around my body. “Are you hungry?” “Um, not right now.” I try to sound as cooperative as I could. “Am I going back to the cell?” He laugh. “Well, I have a room, but I’m afraid is my room. You would have to share it with me and I would have to cuff you to the bed. Which one do you want?”

“I’ll share.” He smile wider. “I’m really glad that you are coming around.” He lead me to the room. * * Chapter 9 *

“C’mon Linda you haven’t eaten in days. Do you want to starve your self to die? Is that it?” “No, I been good. I haven’t mention you know who’s name. You even trust me enough not to tide me to the bed. Haven’t I been good?” I look at him, but he just stare. “Then why are you not eating. You are so weak that.” He sigh. “That when we are together you just lay there. Tell me the truth are you trying to kill yourself?” He raise an eyebrow and cross his arm over his chest. “No! I just don’t feel hungry. I don’t know why.” It was true though I wasn’t hungry and I did wanted to die. I just couldn’t stand the though of being with Marc… connecting with him every other night. I close my eyes. “In the institute sometimes they made me eat painfully because I would be like this without being hungry… is just who I am.” “That’s right. But every time you didn’t eat wasn’t because you weren’t hungry. It was either a hunger strike or just because you were depress. Since you say is not a hunger strike. I’m assuming is because you are depress. Are you depress?” “N-n-n. No.” Damn it! But I stutter. He glare. I knelt in front of him and grab his jeans. “Please! Just give me time.” “It’s been almost a week and the only thing you put down your throat is water.” He help me up grabbing one arm. “At least eat some fruit.” “But.” He glare. “Kay.” I lower my head. “Don’t move. I’ll bring it to you.” He came with a bowl full with different kind of fruit. I gag when I put the first fruit in my mouth, but I made it down

my throat with difficulty. But when I eat the second one I spit it out involuntarily. This was why in the institute they would put the food in my stomach in the most painful way. Shit! Marc growl. “I’m trying.” He sigh. “Would you like to talk to Adrian?” My face light up with color for the first time in a week. Shit what if this was to see if I still care about him. Shit. Shit. Shit. “NO! I’m ok.” I eat another fruit again and gag. He sigh and took the bowl away from me. He got out of the room. “SHUT UP! Look do you want to talk to her, or you want to piss me off and make me hang up on you?” A pause, he was listening whatever the person on the other line was telling him, well yelling. I could hear a loud sound. He sigh. “She is ok. I’m calling you so you hear her for you self. Am I? Don’t piss me off Adrian. Bye!” Another pause. Then he sigh. “That’s better little brother.” He laugh. “Well I think that’s between her and me. Don’t you think?” I gulp. “Here.” He handed me the phone. “Hello?” I heard Adrian sigh in relieve. “Linda are you ok.” I fight tears. It been weeks since I hear his beautiful voice. “Yes. Where are you?” I couldn’t help it. I had to know he had better accommodation than me, but Marc took the phone away and glare at me. “Sorry.” I whisper. “I’m not trying to go see him. I just want to know he had the same accommodation than me.” He raise and eyebrow. He handed me back the phone. “Linda did you hear anything I said?” “No can you repeat it again?” He sigh. “I said. That you don’t need to worried about me. Yes, I’m held against my will. That’s why I haven’t been able to rescue you, but… anyways Marc tells me you haven’t eat in a week. Why?” “I’m not hungry.”

“Why not?” He was getting mad. “Do you know what would happen if you die?” Yes, you can be with your family and I can have peace of mind. “I’m not trying to kill my self Adrian.” “No?” He said skeptically. “Linda can you at least try?” “I try today. Didn’t Marc tell you that?” “Yes, but he also said you gag at the taste of it.” “Yeah, but that’s not me faking it… That’s me not wanting to eat, but I am not doing purposely.” He sigh. “If anything happens to you Linda you will take my heart with you. I love you so much that if you turn into a vampire I would let you turn me, just so we could be together.” I cry. I love you too Adrian. I love you so much I’m sleeping with your brother or at least letting him have my body, so you be alive. “Linda did you hear me?” I close my eyes and more tear felt down my cheek. “I will eat today I promise.” And I handed the phone to Marc. I ran to the kitchen and grab the bowl of fruit that was on the table and sat to eat it. Oh Adrian. Would I ever feel you again without having to imagine it? I was so lost into thinking about Adrian that I finish the bowl of fruit. “Hey!” Marc came to the kitchen laughing. “Did you know you broke my brother heart by not saying: I love you too Adrian, I love you so much that I giving my body to your brother, so you could live… well, if I were you that’s what I would of said. I think between you too… you are giving more than him.” I fight the urge to glare at him. I just shrug. “And I see you eat the fruits. Do you want more?” “Yes please!” I gave him the bowl. He cut more fruits and put it in the bowl and the fill a glass with milk, and also gave me a bottle of water too. I gave him a fake smile. “Hey! I got an idea. After seeing you talk to Adrian. I think you are ready to see the sun again.” I choke on the fruit I had in my mouth. “Why? I’m happy here.” I look at him. He smile.

“I know, but if talking to Adrian make you eat without gagging. I can’t imagine what seeing him might do.” He wink at me. I suddenly felt sick. “I don’t want to see him. Please!” I cry. “Please don’t!” I cover my face. “Stop.” He growl. “Don’t cry.” “You wont’ take me out of here?” I said looking at him. “No. Why you want to seal your self here?” “I. I.” I look away. “When are you hunting the vampire?” I wince when I said vampire instead of family. He smile. “We are already.” I smile. “Have you find them?” “Yes, we are just watching from afar. To know when is the best time to kill them.” I nod. He smile crookedly. “You want to.” He motion his head up to his room. My heart started to race. Um, no, but I would love it if you stab your self. I shook my head and he laugh. “Oh, c’mon your been good so far.” I shook my head again and he sigh. “You want to eat more fruit?” “I would like some more milk, if you don’t mind.” I smile shyly. He sat on the table across from me and just started to look at me smiling. “Why do you love him and not me? I met you first.” “Well, technically I met him first.” He glare. “I did. I met him the day my parent’s wanted to turn me, and my brother send me to the clinic.” “What do you love more about him?” I bite my lips trying to hide a smile. “How kind and selfless he is.” He look down. “I’m sorry. I know I turn to a horrible guy. I never like my brother that much.” “Why?”

“Everybody falls for him: Oh omigod! I love his green eyes, his muscle, his strength. Yeah I don’t got his stupid green eyes, but I got muscle too and strength.” I felt guilty one of the things I love about Adrian was his green eyes. I went to his side and sit in his lap. I grab his face and make him look at me. “I’m sorry Marc. I know I’m one of those girls, because when you wanted me to be your girlfriend I said that I didn’t believe in love.” I looked at the floor ashamed. “And the first moment I recognize him I open my arms to be his girlfriend. I am so sorry, but I did gave you a chance… and if you remember after a day of it you walk away from me.” “Because you were defending vampires, plus I had a plan. I never left you I just wanted you to come to me.” I glare. “But my stupid brother cheated and went to your house.” He was really angry now. I close my eyes. He kiss me. “But I do love you Linda.” He whisper in my ears. I put my head in his chest. He touch my hair with one hand. “They are my parent and my brother Marc. If I kill them I’ll be alone. I spend a year trying to remember them, then spend a day felling like a monster.” I cry in his chest. “But that’s the thing Linda. They are not. They got kill by a monster, and turn into one them self. You didn’t see what they did to my little brother.” He shook his head. “And I know you think Adrian love you more because he is willing to let the murder of our brother slide… just to be with you. But I want you know I love you too Linda.” I got of his grab abruptly and glare at him. “He would never rape me!” I snap. “He would never put me in a cell! And he definitely would never kill you!” I ran to his room and slam the door behind me. “What a role mode my brother is!” He shout entering the room. I ignore him. My face was in the bed and I was crying. “Linda?” He whisper. I heard his steps and he was at my side touching my back. “Linda?” He whisper again. So he gave up and stay like that on my side touching my back. He started to hum a song… After a while he started to sing the song. But changing the song a little bit.

“ Your in love with my brother, your upset because I got you against your will and he is on another room against his own will thinking on how to get to you He might love you a little more than I do. I’m in my room trying to open my heart to you a really hard thing to do for me singing for the first time to the girl I love.” Suddenly he got away and I heard a guitar playing too while he continue. The music sounded like Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me. “He dress sophisticated, I dress like a bad boy He’s the best thing of the family I’m the screw up Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time. If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me You belong with me. Seeing you cry like this I cant help thinking what an asshole I am feeling bad for hurting like this the girl I love asking my self Hey why isn’t this easy? You've got a smile that could light up this whole town I haven’t seen it in awhile, since I kidnapped you You say your find I know you better than that Hey, What am I doing to the girl I love?” I sat up and look at him still singing and playing the guitar without looking at me. “He wears boots I wear sneakers He’s a better vampire slayer than me Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me I’m here waiting for you to open your eyes and see the real me how could you not see that? You belong with me You belong with me.” He look up and saw me sat down smiling and watching him. He flush and kept with you belong with me lyrics instead of changing it a little bit.
“Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night I'm the

one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me. Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you? Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by or waiting at your back door All this time how could you not know that You belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe You belong with me You belong with me” He smile. “ I didn’t know you play guitar.” “There’s a lot of things you don’t know about me.”

“That was beautiful. Well, it’s surprising you know Taylor Swift song, or at least that one…” He flush. He came to my side and sat besides me. “I love how you change the first part of the lyrics.” I smile at him. He sigh. “I’m really sorry. I.” He turn away. “Damn it! Marc.” He look back at me surprise. “What?” “How am I suppose to hate you or be mad at you? When you turn into a softy?” “I guess you’re not?” I smile and his lips met mind. Luckily his guitar was in the middle, but then he put it in the floor and went back to kiss me. He started to lower me in the bed. “Um, Marc?” He sigh and sat up. “Should I sing again?” I smile. “You are cute. A mean rapist, but still cute.” He frown. “You are not let that go are you?” I shook my head and he sigh. “Hey, at least I forgave you and you know I don’t hate you anymore.” “That’s true.” He got up abruptly and ran out. I gasp in shock. What was wrong with him? I follow him and he was on the living room couch crying. “Marc?” He look at me embarrassed and started to run outside I ran and grab his arm. “What’s wrong?” “It hurts to love you this much, but the worse is that.” He try to get away, but I hold him harder. “I force you.” He whisper. “I can’t believe I lose the control of my jealousy so bad that I.” He cover his face with his hand, but I was still holding his arm. I hug him and he hug me back. “You won’t be alone Linda. You’ll have me and Adrian. I promise, but we can’t let the dead of Michael unpunished. Please tell me you understand!”

“I understand.” I hug him harder and he touch my hair. He sigh. “What’s wrong?” “I’m taking you to your house.” I gasp. “What?” “I mean it. I’m sorry for hurting you. Your free.” I look at his eyes and smile. I fall asleep on the way to my house. When I woke up I was on my bed and Marc was sleeping in a chair on my room. He look really uncomfortable. I walk toward his side and touch his shoulder. He open his eyes. “You want me to go?” He yawn. “No. I want you… well you can… we can share the bed… were been doing it for a couple of weeks.” I smile. He carry me and put me in the bed and when I though he was about to kiss me he put me on the bed and got on the other side. “What time is it?” He look at his watch. “One in the morning. Hey! Do you mind if I sleep without my shirt?” I shook my head. “You never ask my permission before.” He frown. “I’m turning a knew leaf. I’m trying to be good.” I smile. “Sure you got my permission.” He took his shirt off. I couldn’t help it. I look. I mean, he had a nice abs, nice, biceps, and wow. I turn and pretended to go to sleep. He got into bed and put the sheet I had over him too. He hug me and the next thing I knew he was snoring. I smile. That’s how we been sleeping for the past couple week the only difference now is that I don’t feel nauseate. I feel warm. I felt asleep.

Chapter 10 “What the hell?” I open my eyes and saw John looking at me in shock. “John?”

“Yeah. Where have you been?” I look at my side where Marc was sleeping. I got out without waking him up. I motion for him to go downstairs. In the living room. I sat in a couch and he sat on another one with his arm cross around his chest. “Well?” “I was kidnapped and Marc save me.” He ran to my side and hug me. “Are you ok?” I laugh. “Yeah.” “I been so worried about you.” “I would of call you, but you know.” He glare. “What? I’m fine. Thank goodness nothing happen to me.” I hug him. “Are you going to continue with your classes?” “No. I’m sorry. Give me a month to find my kidnapers and I’ll go back.” He nod.
